Credit where it's due...smooth and good fruit if not super soulful.

Took this wine to Duke of Marlborough restaurant in Russell, New Zealand. Maybe a bit past it’s prime.

Beautiful color, deceiving nose, and a very strong syrah presence make this an enjoyable wine. Dark fruit and hints of chocolate are profound on the palette. Note that the alcohol content is above 15%, which I personally think hinders the quality.

Nice nose. Notes of saddle leather, and black fruit. On the palate, it's chewy, a little bit jammy, rounded, but with some heat, and bramble in the background. Some tannins and cassis. Lingering mouthfeel.
