An unexpected surprise from our host, Paul Lister, at Alladale Lodge Scotland, where he produced a mixed half dozen of 2004 Pax Syrah from different vineyards left by a former guest. A marvellous fragrant nose showing mature smoky meaty Syrah notes with savoury black cherry - also Bacon fat. Similar notes carrying thru onto the palate finishing with mellow resolved flowing Tannins. The 16.2 % ABV not noticeable. This wine was reminiscent of Henschke Hill of Grace for me. Cork broke in half trying to extract but in no way effected the wine. My first aged US Syrah and most impressed. — 7 years ago

Deelish! When I bought this case upon release, it was all big, banging, fruit. Now, a beautiful, laid back Bordeaux like blend. — 12 years ago

2001 Contador Rioja. Lunch at Reddwood. Decanted for a little while S we drank the 1998 Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz. This wine was definitely much funkier on the nose- gamey and earthy. A preferred this wine but the rest of us preferred the Henschke. Delicious but just didn't beat the Henschke for us today. — 10 years ago

This wine is showing why Henschke is at the top of Australian wine. Really good stuff — 10 years ago

Start on spicies, sweet and warm. The nose is quite intriguing and intense, like a splendid old vine Shiraz from barossa or Henschke HOG. This is solid, powerful and perfectly well executed. The mouthfeel is stunning, figs, Werter's toffee and beautiful confit red fruitZ imagine a Christmas pudding with a sticking acidity. Loved every moment of it. #sqn #sinequanon #california #manfredkrankl — 11 years ago

I think I have met the first SOM who loves burgundy and Australian Syrah......recommended this hill of grace and it was totally fantastic......I thought it would be too much but it was balanced, subtle, jam, spice, minty, ......the SOM told me to stop trying to describe it and just enjoy it....amazing wine — 10 years ago

Aromas leap from the glass; showing slight develop an indications of suntan year with prominent petrol and rubber, otherwise is all things citrus with lime, green apple, white grapefruit and a touch of elderflower. Plenty of drive and concentration on the palate, a joy to drink — 10 years ago

Dark, slightly sweet fruit, really well-framed by a long, acidic, complex finish. I can't remember having a better new world Syrah. (...and I had Alban before the price went through the roof, and a bottle of Henschke Mt. Edelstone. Only Penfolds St. Henri was on this level.) — 11 years ago
