"The 2007 Syrah (100%) spent 12 months in French oak. It surrenders a brooding bouquet of meat, game, violets, incense, blueberry, and black cherry. Layered on the palate and impeccably balanced, it is considerably more approachable than the Petit Verdot and should be at its best from 2013 to 2022." — Wine Advocate, 91+ pts
