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

Opened at a restaurant where we surprised was given a private room. Breathed with decanter but was not the best when opened up. after about an hour of breathing it is more pleasant with some blue fruit and mineral and overall still abit bitter. not bad for new zealand — 7 months ago
