Still has some tannins providing structure, full somewhat reserved body with good clean finish

Mega lush, opulent, Syrah. Drink em if you got em. You won't be bummed.

A dark inky maroon, the '05 Pax Syrah 'The Knob - Alder Springs Vineyard' offers a glass-filling bouquet of brambly black raspberry, bacon fat, lavender and tobacco scents. The mouth is then filled with a liqueur-like concentration of jammy black fruits and baking spices. A long penetrating finish with some eucalyptus undertones is the final reward. It could be easily be mistaken for a Cornas in a blind tasting.
