Violet, smoke, white pepper and meat come together on an intensely spicy nose. All the hallmarks of Syrah are there: the inky intensity, the heady aroma, the visceral notions of flesh and smoke. The palate intesifies this but remains taut, concentrated and slender. Right now this has teenage excitement and will sweep you along in its exuberance. If you wait, this will calm down into floral elegance. The firm tannic structure, full fruit and freshness give this a long lease of life. 2018–2028. Anne Krebiehl MW

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
