The 2001 Syrah, the first vintage produced, is rather Australian in style with its jammy blackberry fruit, a vanilla, coconut, and incense spiciness, and caressing texture. Only a very slight drop-off in volume on the finish, normal for a wine from young vines, keeps the score from going considerably higher. Drink: 2006-2014.
