David Lawrason
This is a deep, black-purple syrah from a ripe vintage. It has generous, ripe sweet blueberry/plummy fruit and florality on the nose with black licorice and smoked meat. It is full bodied, soft, warming and juicy, with all kinds of black pepper, licorice and warmth. A bit soft. There is some minerality on the finish as well. Very good to excellent length. Tasted March 2018

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A deep inky purple colour with incandescent ruby reflections. Pronounced aromas reveal blackcurrants, red plums, licorice, anise, toasted vanilla beans, and tri-blend peppercorns. Flavours function well revealing cherries, cooked strawberries, cassis, leather, cinnamon and a touch of cayenne heat and spice box wood notes. Medium acidity, integrate with round, agile tannins. Dried herbs continue into the medium finish. Well balanced. No decanting needed, ready to drink upon opening. Pair with rare roast beef au jus and horseradish. 90 points - tasted April 2018

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
