Smooth and concentrated Syrah here. North Island beauty. Deep black fruits, truffle and pepper, fine tannins and long as hell finish. Silk and power. The wine is a winner.

Black pepper, lots of fruit and ripe tannin. Well balanced, elegant and unexpected.

Drinking the 2011 in early-2019. Looks stunning, dark fruits and spice. Great acid and balance- could've gone much further. A cracking wine from across the ditch

Shiraz, but ruby and part of edge is a bit transparent. Cherry like aroma? I felt same feeling in a certain elegant style of barbaresco. Spicy taste is in its deep area. Blue and black berry , with a little sweetness. After a hour, I found pepper. After 1.5 hours, it was turned to be deep. I think time is not enough. @8078, Uki-, 171202-171225
