Really nice syrah. Opened bottle, poured off a glass and let sit for 2 hours. Nose of dark fruits, meat and spice. Palate had a rich blue and black fruit profile that was perfectly balanced by the acidity that gave it an elegant mouthfeel. My first Mike Smith syrah and I am a fan.

Nose was delicious with fruit. I didn't have the chance to decant as we shared this wonderful nectar with family over a dinner. It was a special occasion and this was a special bottle of wine. Everyone said it was the wine of the night! Deep color and fantastic balance. I bet a 94 was possible with a little hour of decanting.

Was good right out of the bottle but started to fade later in the night. Not good at all on day 2. Drink up.

Good dark fruit. Maybe would have been even better if my mouth wasn't shot full of novocaine!

Probably would have scored a point or two higher, but I just popped and poured.
