French Rhone Syrah is so different then Shiraz one would not think it is the same grape. Deep purple, nose is full of black fruits, wet soil, leather, coffee, dried meet. Full body, robust, with firm tannin and good acidity, and long chewy finish. My score 89+, drink 2011-2018l

Last of my hand-carried Rhône bottles from the mid-2000s. This one evolved well from the rough young version I had almost 15 years ago. On the nose, dried herbes de Provence, red fruits and some leather. In the mouth, darker fruits, leather, dried cherries. Some nice structure remaining, some tannins and acid. Medium-long finish. For a 20-some odd euro wine in 2006, really quite spectacular.
