Magnums show you care, double magnums show you're in it to win it! Rocking fresh dark fruit, huge minerailty and graphite. Oak sweetness. Iron. White pepper. This bottle is barely hitting it's prime. Best of Old and New World Syrah. Can't wait to open mine in some years!

Great stuff. Despite the prolonged barrel ageing, this demonstrate tremendous balance between its dark fruit components, demanding tannins and brisk acidity, all gently supported by dark chocolate, sweet licorice and bay leaf additions. Loads of life left. 93+

Creosote and tar with yesterday's wood fire aromas balanced by greatly refined notes of pure dark cherries and black currant fruit, with the charred oak present but integrated. Full and rich yet lively and acidic, showing a stoney profile where fruit, tannins and acidity are polished but still obvious. Toasty oak adds complexity and the spice notes reminds me Guigal's La La bottlings. Impressive and age worthy too.
