| Tasting Notes | Jay S Miller: At the top of the pyramid is the 2005 Syrah AstralisVineyard. It is sourced from a vineyard planted in 1920 and is oneof the Syrah cuvees in which 100% new oak is utilized (along withBrookman, Hickinbotham, and Piggott Range). It delivers an etherealbouquet of smoky oak, violets, espresso, black pepper, blueberry,and blackberry liqueur. Densely packed and tightly wound, all itneeds is time. The wine is totally harmonious, impeccably balanced,and exceptionally long. When it fully unwinds, even my high ratingwill appear conservative. Its only competition comes from the likesof Guigal, Chapoutier, Chave, Krankl, and Ringland. |
