1995 Araujo Eisele Vineyard Syrah - 97 pts!
The spectacular 1995 Syrah Eisele Vineyard is one of the greatest New World Syrahs I have ever tasted. Approximately 300 cases were made and it is even better out of bottle than it was in barrel. The color is an opaque purple. The bouquet offers explosive notes of wood fire licorice jammy blackberries and cassis in addition to the unmistakable scent of black truffles/licorice. Full-bodied and rich with sensational flavor extraction remarkable harmony and a 35+-second finish this is profoundly great Syrah. While it is approachable it will not reach full maturity for another 7-8 years it will keep for 3 decades. Wow! RP
