“Aging gracefully and drinking beautifully, the 2002 Radio-Coteau Syrah Timbervine, the first vintage for this Syrah, possesses a still youthful red color to go with bramble and meaty aromas of currant and berry fruit, hints of forest floor, and tobacco. This medium-bodied, balanced Syrah has a supple, polished texture, notable freshness and life, and a clean, long finish. Drinking at point for me, and time to start drinking, this should continue to evolve gracefully.”
