Don’t know if I’ve ever tasted a Syrah that tastes like this. 14 years old and is fresh as can be. Wow!

Best wine I've ever had. Tremendous red baked fruit, baking spices with an amazing acidity and great depth. Speachless

Cereal nose. Chocolate covered cherry mid palate. Uniquely bright freshness through resolution. Smoldered ash, quite mouth coating.
