20 year old Syrah. Love it. Cocoa, plums, black pepper, jam, a bit a flowers. There’s a freshness to this wine that is amazing. So impressive. Very different from the 2021 Donna’s Syrah.

This 2004 is pleasant with a hint of port because of the age of the wine. The color is dark with just a touch of browning. Acidity is still good and not flabby at all.

Great fruit, rev berries and spice up front. Then massive white, cracked pepper. Drunk with food, preferably a chop or steak
