This is a big wine and needs to open up! Oh and a nice big grilled steak! Lots of ripe and jammy dark black fruit with plenty of smoke. A touch of alcohol on the back of the palate, but this is saying 15.9%. Nice acidity too. I enjoy these big wines at times but it can tire my palate quickly.

A saturated ruby, the'02 Martinelli Syrah 'Hop Barn Hill' is a Cote Rôtie knock-off with gorgeous scents of bacon fat, blackberry liqueur, licorice and mocha. Super concentrated flavors of ripe, floral, black fruits lead to a smooth finish of extended length. Simply WOW!
