Black and red currants on the nose along with pine cones and autumn leaves. The black and red berries continue on the palate along with eucalyptus, bay leaf, capsicum, ceylon, and a faint note of white pepper. Popped and drank. Should have decanted for a few hours, as this is very nuanced, revealing new flavors with each return to the glass. The finish is clean and balanced, lingering and evolving over a few minutes. Tannins are almost fully integrated; yet the structure remains firm. For me, this seems to be the peak drinking window. Only two of these remain in the cellar! Will definitely try another bottle with a few hours of decanting soon. A very cerebral, thought provoking wine. Pair with John Coltrane, Miles Davis, perhaps even better with Wax Tailor. — 8 years ago

'04. Great. Might have thought it was Burgundy. Mature, really strong. Medium weight and wild aromatics. Herbaceous, funky, tar, raspberry. Lean, firm. — 9 years ago

The final wine poured was the '06 Davis Family Syrah 'Guyzer Block'. Lacking sufficient decanter time, the toasty oak flavors were not as integrated as I remember from previous bottles. However, subtle blackberry, pepper and floral aromas did finally surface. This concentrated wine had nice zesty acidity and a long creamy finish. — 11 years ago

I agree with Davis Smith. Would like to taste this with age from a big bottle, but I guess that would require patience, or a time machine. Sadly, I have neither. — 8 years ago

Original bottling, and worth the time on the cellar. More understated and seamless than it was in its youth, now quietly complex and richly complicated. — 9 years ago

What more can you ask for-well made, as this is a v2010, crispy ( don't serve too chilled), creamy, oaky ( not too bad, French barrels, so nice and rounded mouth feel). Nice wine! — 10 years ago
