Good fruit and oak balance. Decanted. Liked the wine a little better before the decant.

Solid, but very young. Better on day 2. Interesting to see this under screwcap now.

The basic syrah offering from Mike Officer provides so much value. Don't love as much as the 13 but this is always amazing for the price.

Terrific value. Lots of pepper and chocolate. Needs a little time to open up.

30m decant and this was wide awake. Big aromas and a beautiful bite to match. Absolutely sick QPR.

Inky, purple color. Sticky. Lots of blackberry fruit up front, backed up by mounds of pepper, dark chocolate, and loam. Massive, but with a velvety finish. A powerhouse with finesse. Huge QPR. If you're lucky enough to have it, that is. Small demerit for the screw cap. I know, I know. But I'm a traditionalist.
