As you would expect from Manfred. After a while you just run out of superlatives and just sit there with a Syrah stained smile on your face. Rich dark fruit with beef blood smell (that term doesn’t do justice to how interesting and delicious the combination really is). Tremendous finish, dark color to the edge. Just a great wine experience. My only bottle. I have no clue how long this wine could go before peaking. — 8 years ago

Dark fruit, tart tannins, complex. I’d buy a case of this vintage and enjoy with a Cohiba from Havana 🇨🇺 — 8 years ago


One of the best wines I have ever tasted. — 9 years ago
Smooth, but enticing nose.
Black fruit, and vanilla beans on a luscious, silky note. A little tobacco at the end, just to balance the fruit. Loving it! — 9 years ago

Wow! It’s been several years since our last bottle and it was worth the wait. Happy to have 4 more! Delicious fruit with plenty of brightness. Wonderfully balanced. — 7 years ago
