Spicy & earthy/funky. Layers of black fruits, smoke and grilled herbs. Savory and a little wild. — 10 years ago

Dark fruit, tobacco, violets, charcuterie, black olives, and a hint of freshly-laid tar on the nose with black fruit and savory notes on the palate, which was both full-bodied but not heavy because of the lift of the medium plus acidity. Fabulous. — 12 years ago

Big tannins and big taste while still being easy to drink. One of Matthews' best! — 11 years ago

A dense glass-staining purple, the '06 Charles Smith Syrah 'Royal City' is a monumental wine. Big, pungent aromas of game, truffles, black olives and dried fruits exploded from the glass. Complex, but still seamlessly balanced. The tastes stayed on the palate for a seemingly infinite length of time. Simply wonderful! — 12 years ago
