The 2007 Le Sol Syrah is very intense, almost introverted on the nose, closed compared to the Block 14 but the palate is full-bodied with immense chewy tannins, real weight and concentration but good acidity. Huge grip, pure black cherry, cassis and plum but velvety and caressing on the finish. Iron first/velvet glove etc. Unreal. Drink over 5-15 years. Drink: 2009 - 2024
Lithe, harmonious and full of personality, brimming with pepper-accented boysenberry and plum flavors accented with savory notes that linger against refined tannins. This doesn't quit. Syrah. Best from 2011 through 2017.
Meaty, nice dry finish, succulent and lots of liquorice. Great balance. Drink 2009-2012
