Interesting if you compare this Syrah to Cab Sauv from the same winery and vintage tasted recently here. The Syrah is weaker in the taste and I would expect more round profile with more jammy tones, rather it is slightly flatter and only acidity keeps it alive. It comes from high altitudes (1450) vineyards, perhaps these may not be that suitable for Syrah like Cab
