appearance: a bit on the dull side, with low-medium intensity, and a dark ruby color. nose: a clean nose with low intensity and aromas of raspberry, a bit of prune, and an overall musty sort of character. palate: relatively dry with low acid, and an average body. it has flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and eucalyptus. overall: for bulk winje, even this is pretty bad. it's an 04', and even now it hasn't opened much, if there was much to open to begin with. there are no strong flavors in this wine. it's very one-dimensional, and it's a bit lifeless. i give it a 79.

A light-bodied Syrah, but one that delivers a surprising amount of complexity for the price. Elements of dried spices and plum mingle with tarry, rubbery notes. A bit short on the finish, but what do you expect for $6?
