One of the winners of the night surprisingly enough. Great concentration of fruit. Not overly complex but immensely enjoyable when you're in the mood for a more bombastic drink.

Fantastic Syrah. Dark and meaty, really dig Herman Story 5+ years after vintage.

2012 Vintage. Now entering a great drinking window. Big fruit, iodine, tar, some citrus on the nose. Loved it.

Another gem from Russell From. First time we've had this SV effort and it, like everything from Herman Story, was an in-your-face fruit bomb. Delicious and the first bottle to empty.

Another masterpiece from Russell From. Coming to see you. Must pull the curtain back and meet the Master.
