Yummy, yummy, I really like this Syrah. It is very different from Cotes du Rhone or Australia and excellent complex nose with layered smells of fruits, canned fruit characteristics given its proper aging and this excellent carob tones. I could not name them for about 30 minutes and then I remembered I have this Gulepp tal Harrub (carob syrup) from Malta and there we went! I is very nice and although the alcohol is @14% it does not stand out like in the Izraely Cab Sauv tasted 30 minutes ago here.
