Wow. I really liked this. Very fresh, full and lush wine. I was expecting a harsher wine with alcoholic heat at 15% plus but it had the kind of concentration and class you see in a SQN.

Time to drink these - this, while very good, was up to the last one we had a couple of years ago - I have one left and will open it soon

2nd bottle- better with cool Syrah fruits characteristics and better balance with acidity.

Lovely deep wine with dark fruit, tannins in balance and good acid level.

2008, not as salty as release. Rich and ripe. Buttery grilled Elk steaks were a good match.
