Fabulous Syrah. One of the best 2011 wines I have tasted. The grapes were picked end of September, before the rains

Decanted for 3hrs - paired with Duck and wild rice and was very impressed - thought it needed another 5-10yrs before we opened but it was excellent and exceeding expectations

Quintessential Syrah from an iconic producer. Tobacco and chocolate nose, dark fruits and a long finish. Makes you forget about Napa cab (at least temporarily).

Ripe red cherry with caramel settled ringtones touches of green leaf and pepper medium weight substantial power really enjoying the wine now despite the fact I am NOT a big alcohol person I expect this to fall apart as it is in instant gratification wine so have it now.

In the top five of best wines I've ever tasted. Would love to see what some age would offer
