| 96-100 | Extraordinary | A wine of finesse, complexity, and expression. True to variety and region. Perfect balance of flavors with a long finish. |

- Alcoholic, raisins, rose petals, bitter on the finish. Soft. Earthy spice but bitter aftertaste. On the 2nd taste after open for a while, much mellower, smooth fig with blue/black fruits. Earthy. MUST decant!
- Smoky, berry, cranberry/currant. Very smooth & warming. Deep, rich best if decanted.
- Nice nose, complex. A bit hot. Favorite red.
- Potpourri. Very strong dried flowers on the nose, glue, dried clay nose, cloves, vanilla. Mild finish.
- Hot nose (alcohol). Warm all the way down. Better with time. Light, fruit, tannin.
- Really like this syrah, the only flaw is that it’s slightly watery at times.
- Nice, smoky, chalky and all around nice. A bit tart on the close.
