Rich red fruits, despite the 15% ABV, this smells and tastes like a cool climate Syrah (my vague recollection was that 2008 was a cooler year, though this vineyard usually produces the ripest and most high-octane Syrah in the Tensley stable), nice balance, lingering finish, very fine!’

Extremely heavy but did lighten up with air. Large olive flavors completely smother the palate. I'm not a big Syrah drinker, but this reminded me of a CDP. Was overall okay.
