09 in 18. Fig chutney, tar, savory, heat; an intense wine! A little lighter on the palate. Mortadella. Needs another 3yr. -but super impressive. Fig, soy, pink peppercorn.

This has to be the best Brand for Syrah for the money. Stellar year in and year out.

Meaty, savory. Just how Syrah's supposed to be.
