This is exactly what I wanted. After an attempt at Chateauneuf, I just wanted Syrah and this was it. Not overly complex, but shows the grace of age and had the dark fruit and round mouthfeel I was looking for. I can't wait for the rest of these. Tonight, this was vastly superior to the 2007 Siffrein.

Disjointed and much different than the last few of these we had. Just didn't show well, and was lacking in the floral component that I love so much about this wine. Not flawed, but not great. Thus, no score.

Flawed. I hope the next one is better.
