After couple of hours decanted, this gorgeous bottle of #Saxum Bone Rock's aroma wafted around the counter: Blackberry, cassis, smoke, dark berries, licorice and a sweetness that only powerful #Syrahs offer. So complex. Love what comes out of the James Berry Vineyard. #SaxumVineyards

Very good, as expected. Lush, perceived sweet from 16.1 Alc but didn't come off that high. Perfection for pasophiles, excellent for all others.

A little too heavy for a rube like me. Good overall structure and a long finish.

Boogie dark in the glass. Dark berry fruit parade. Licorice, lead pencil, graphite, flinty, crushed rock. Maybe a touch of seared meats. Monster huge, concentrated, layered but perfectly balanced. This wine has a sweet tannin that just seduces me. Suggest a 2 hour decant. My last 05. Please send more @Justin Smith

Loved this wine! Especially for the price It sells online at some places! Big and jammy ( boysenberry ) vanilla and a little spice.
