Stunning Syrah it just amazes me how the wine developed if I compare it to my notes from March 2010 here, where you can find the pics of the bottle and labels. I was actually afraid the wine will be gone and on the contrary itimproved significantly!!! Looks like you never know with the wine you just need to taste it:)
