Edmunds St. John
Durell Vineyard Syrah
Sonoma County, California, USA
One of the most elegant Syrah I've had outside of the northern Rhone. And it seems that these were 6-year-old vines in 1996.

There's a hint of the unicorn in finding a couple random bottles of this, near its 20th birthday, in a wine store in Ireland. And this is drinking beautifully with notes of meat, olives, smoke and liquorice. There's great lift on the palate with good acidity and just a little dryness on the finish. It lingers with a classic campfire note. Entirely delicious. The 1996
