Tim Atkin: Deep, rich color. Spice, pepper nose. Classy wine; lovely acidity and freshness and length and complexity. Poised, complex, elegant, and long. Savory, lovely spicy balance. Really smart Syrah. 19

Alex Hunt: Raisined, overripe fruit aromas. A cozy fireside wine, but one with a rather lumpy texture and not a lot of purity- 13

Anthony Rose: Good deep youthful color, showing a hint of evolution; fresh prune, plum, licorice, spice, and dark fruits on the nose; good fresh seamless dark-berry-fruits quality here; lively acidity and juicy supple tannins, all in all bringing an attractive drinkability if not that final extra dimension- 16
