Latour Syrah 2005

Look no further, it's in here. The nose speaks of a NY Strip steak with red and green peppercorns. I love the meaty and peppery aromas that are followed by the scent of rosemary. Who needs dinner? This Syrah is unlike most that you've had, but if you enjoy a gripping good time, get on this. The palate offers a distinct smokiness, and an undeniable seasoning salt aspect. The mouth feel is more direct, not as rounded, but very intriguing. I'd pair it with a steak, for sure!

I love this wine for that fact that is full of complexities as well as the fact that it carries flavors that are unique and very attractive. I found chocolate, and the mouth feel was very pleasant. I highly recommend.

This is a BIG wine but yet it is still easy and soft on the palate. Lovely rich dark red colour with all the hints of spice and red fruits. No tannins to tell of and so a lovely warm finish and lingering. Smooth after taste. An ideal wine with game, steak.beef or even spicy foods. Yep....I liked this red.

This Syrah is in your face and certainly not shy! The nose is salty bacon and fresh blood aromas. I'm a little taken aback, but not in a bad way somehow! There is no sweetness in this wine, so steer clear if you like a fruity sweet Syrah! Flavors of smoke, cedar and bacon envelope my tongue, and the finish is woodsy cedar tones. A great glass of wine for those who seek adventure and who aren't afraid of the dark or heights! Enjoy!

Syrah's allure is apparent the minute you pour this wine. It's deep purple hue hints at the wine's intensity and richness. smoky, spicy aromas underscore dark fruit flavors while vibrant acidity makes its appearance on the long, refreshing finish. Whether you're serving barbeque ribs, grilled lamb or savory ratatouille, reach for this sumptuous sipper.

a little harsh a first...definitely needs time to open up.

Roll up your sleeves...cause it might get bloody in here! Wow! Right off the bat aromas of a bloody, meaty steak hit me. Like almost a raw steak, for real. It's so interesting and intriguing! There is also a hint of saltiness in there as well... The taste throws in some spice, and a smokey/ashey component. This wine tosses fruit to the side with hardly a trace to be detected, but that ain't a bad thing, this Syrah is tough!

Second tasting. Nose is a bit light on the fruit. A bit of a harsher bite of tannin to start. Maybe a bit of herbs and spice. Medicinal, eucalyptus, menthollated.
