There is so much freshness here after 30 years and yet it does not begrudge or disguise its age

Rosemount Estate "Balmoral Syrah" 1995 syrah Quite elegant and open-knitThe estate bottled 1995 Syrah Balmoral exhibits nearly excessive oak, but there is no doubting its sweet blackberry and cherry scented nose with aromas of licorice and spicy new oak. As the wine sits in the glass, notes of bacon fat emerge. Fleshy, medium to full bodied, and smoky, with excellent purity, this wine can be drunk now or cellared for 7 8 years.
