  Tasted over 3 days and it was singing on the 3rd day. 3 hour decant didn’t reveal any complexity or much fruit. Day 1 alcohol was a beguiling monolith of iron ore, wet jungle, dark plum with a hint of pepper. Day 3 was all business and pleasure. Full bodied, less earthy, soft tannins, blackberry nectar, black currant, smoked meats, Asian spice, considerable depth with a long finish. Patience rewarded.

  This was poured without decanting. The wine was a bit cloudy mid to deep garnet red in colour with a slight bit of orange on the edge. On the nose were blackberries along with some pepper.
  In the glass were blackberries, white pepper, vanilla and a nice amount of graphite. The tannins were quite strong while the acidity was at a mid level. It may be time to drink these up if you have them.

  This Magnum was opened for 3 hours prior to pouring. The wine was clear and quite deep purple in colour with a nose dominated by dark berries and a bit of funk.
  Happily, this went away after half an hour and it revealed a wine with flavours of dark berries, dark cherries, a good amount of caramel and very light amount of pepper. I would not have known that this was a Syrah based wine or that it was over 15.5% alcohol. It was very enjoyable.

  This clear and deep inky purple wine was drank at a local restaurant with minimal decanting. It had a nose of cherries and caramel mixed with a light amount of pepper. In the glass were strong flavours of black cherries mixed with a very noticeable amount of bacon but surprisingly virtually no pepper spices. The tannins and acidity were quite light but lovely. I'm quite certain that I would not have picked this out as a Syrah based wine as it was quite nuanced on this occasion. Time has served this bottle well and it was outstanding!

  Hmm is it past it’s prime? Can’t see how rather a bit out of place and under delivering. Without having more info it’s hard to judge where this was and where it’s headed. Not worth the price of entry but assume better times behind and better vintages ahead.
