this is terre rouge's priciest syrah, a barrel selection of the best lots. it's a big wine. no, make that huge. godzilla-esque. just explodes in the mouth with massive flavors of blackberry and black cherry jam, milk chocolate, anise, cedar and pepper. finishes bone dry, and the tannins are also gigantic, but very finely ground. you need to cellar this puppy. best after 2010, for about six years.
