Subdued nose maybe too cool.dark stews fruit Pliny jammy nose. Not very Syrah like for me. Good length and nice ripe tanins with hint of acid. No pepper no spice. Well made just not showing any terroir. Could be anything. Maybe will open up. Stand corrected. A few hours later this thing has exploded in the glass. Awesome wine.

Needed to breathe, a little sharp initially. Was sipping plain - would be better with food. Many better options available
