Note di degustazione
The 2003 Syrah Seymour’s Vineyard is the most restrained and elegant of the Syrahs. While more delicate, nuanced, and possibly more complex than the two single vineyard wines I rated higher, it does not possess the power and stature of the Lorraine, or the exuberance of the Reva. It is a full-bodied, rich, polished, deep purple-hued, noble, complex offering revealing notes of smoke, graphite, blackberries, toast, and earth. It is a French-styled Syrah with a powerful, California-like alcoholic clout. Enjoy this impressive, full-throttle Syrah over the next 15+ years. Tel. (805) 546-0305

(17.2% alcohol) Saturated dark ruby. Superripe nose shows a roasted ripeness akin to a dry port. Very intense flavors of crystallized berries, plum, minerals and lead pencil; like anessence of black fruits. Thick and chocolatey yet with almost shocking inner-palate energy. Finishes with great building length. "This would have been an inferior wine if I had picked the fruit earlier," Alban maintains. Very impressive.
