Estimate
...charcoal, licorice, blackberries and blueberries...full-bodied mouthfeel, a seamless personality...will be drinkable in 2-3 years, and should keep for 25 or more...a tour de force in what Syrah can achieve in this hallowed appellation.
A rock-solid and well-built wine, with a frame of charcoal and tar around a core of dark plum, blackberry and black currant fruit, revealing loads of tobacco, singed bay leaf and graphite notes in reserve.
...Heady, complex aromas of black raspberry, potpourri, smoky minerals and Indian spices...a riot of black and blue fruit flavors that show uncanny energy for their depth and power...Finishes...with remarkable focus, thrust and length.
