Don’t know if I’ve ever tasted a Syrah that tastes like this. 14 years old and is fresh as can be. Wow!

Best wine I've ever had. Tremendous red baked fruit, baking spices with an amazing acidity and great depth. Speachless

Cereal nose. Chocolate covered cherry mid palate. Uniquely bright freshness through resolution. Smoldered ash, quite mouth coating.

This is one of the sexiest thing you can ever taste in your glass.
So fresh and young. The alcohol and the concentration are super integrated, making it so drinkable and extremely pleasant. Would love@to try this in 20+ year from now.
