Amazing as always — 7 years ago
Dry, oaky, lots of dark fruit, cherries, chocolate, delicious. Pairs great with smoked meat and duck confit. — 9 years ago
We paired this with country ribs drenched in a smoky BBQ sauce. And while I've never made ribs nor tasted this wine, all I can say is...I was transported to scenes From House of Cards, where Kevin Spacey plays the excellent, if slightly sociopathic character of Frank Underwood, Democratic Majority Whip. This wine is brazen, ballsy and complex, with notes of eucalyptus, smoke, preserved meat, asphalt, ox blood, grit and conspiracy. Rich, brooding and as well-developed as a riveting story, the Cimicky will suck you in. — 12 years ago
Great rich taste that I imagine would go with any food. Lovely. — 13 years ago
Well balanced. Like how you feel when you arrive at the family gathering and on one side of the room is your crazy uncle that’s into conspiracy theories, and on the other is your grandma who smells like she just got back from a tour with Cheech & Chong — 3 years ago

2008 Sami-Odi 'Hoffmann Dallwitz' MCMXII Syrah
Sourced from 94 vines, planted between 1888 & 1912.
Harvested 14th March 2008.
Yields of 32 hectolitres per hectare.
388 Bottles filled.
Label: ‘Villie-Morgon’ postcard;
Image sourced Paris 2008. A special treat from my friends @chuck_gudas in conspiracy with @fraser_mckinley, a rare treat of an early Sami-Odi offering. We decanted this wine for several hours, and then re-visited 24 hours later, and the wine continued to evolve and improve. Explosive nose of freshly baked cherry pie. More bright red fruits on the palate with a brambley undertone, and soft silky tannins. Wonderful mouth feel with a long, lingering finish. Thank you Chuck and Fraser! — 9 years ago

Are you kidding me it says Pinot noir!!!!
This is a conspiracy!!!!
Taste like a Pinot noir, stone fruits, hot silex, and very spicy(cinnamon, toasted coriander, powder ginger...)
Raspberry jam to keep everything in check. Has at least 15 more years to go!

Red licorice, grape candy, ethenol on the nose. Bracing acidity, restrained fruit. Very light bodied. — a month ago
