Everything I wrote here when tasted Merlot from the same producer holds. This Syrah is 2 years younger than the Merlot and it is noticeable, but I estimate it has higher potential. I would guess between 3 and 5 years. Very very solid wine and definitely with excellent price/value ratio. I will for sure get a case of this wine and store it for at least 3 years.
