Reductive at first, with air the fruit profile is opening up; expressive, and varietal but somewhat simple aroma without any higher density and complexity. Balanced with good structure throughout average, but balanced finish.

Tastes like a Pinot noir. I can't believe I have a Moroccan wine on my delectable list now. Why does this taste like a Pinot noir? It's a Syrah from a warm climate. What the hell is going on? Why does this restaurant want $90 for it?

Good now, 2nd year these guys are making Syrah in morocco. Give it 3 more years and watch out what they'll do.
