Nicely fruity New Zealand Syrah, in addition to blackberry and smoky aromas and flavors, also shows some bacon fat notes and some solid structure, rich and complex, long, lingering finish, very fine!! — 2 months ago

Mind blowing wine right here! Can’t believe how much it improved since the last time I cracked one open. One of best wines I’ve had all year. — 5 months ago

@ESF I’m not familiar with this wine. . It was enjoyable to read your notes and see how it evolved..

Sentimental favorite: I visited the winery and sold their stuff for years - this Syrah is at a zenith, exceeded my wildest expectations

Burgundy from New Zealand but then for a fraction of the price. It has lemon/citrus fruits, stones, good acity and a nice round moutfeel. This acted as a cellar defender for my Mate's vineyard cuvee's of '18, '20 and'22 that I have laying down but I've been told that these benefit from a bit more age. — 7 months ago
