2023 vintage. 15.2% abv but tasted more like 14.4 or so. Decanted and tasted after an hour. Medium body. Somewhat restrained for the area and showing beautifully now. Absolutely no rush to crush. Plenty of time and space with this one. 09.24.26. — 7 days ago

2022 was Grenache/mataro and the two grapes balance each other out so nicely! Lush fruits while still mellow, soft tannins and bright acidity. Just a hint of sweet tobacco on the back. All day. — 2 years ago

So warm and inviting. It’s big and high alcohol but somehow not excessive at all. Wonderful texture. Warm spicy aromas, dark plum, cherry and cola. Very nice ! — 3 years ago

I was really interested to try this Ovid Syrah after a number of years, but it was a real disappointment. The nose and texture seemed to be there but it was fantastically muted. I feel like it needs a day out of the bottle so I’m going to try it again later today and see, but at first blush and after a couple hour decant, this wine did not come to the party - instead, it hid like a turtle in the shell. Since the takeover of the Vineyard, I’ve stopped taking most of my allocation. — 6 years ago

Beautiful pale-clear straw robe. Nose of peach, passion fruit, melon and pine. Lightly savoury taste with a medium body and light, elegant tannins. Medium, fruity finish. Lovely. — 9 years ago
