Score 91/100 · Drink 2019-2028, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Apr 2015

(14.4% alcohol): Deep ruby-red. Pungent aromas of crushed raspberry, pomegranate, eucalyptus and minerals. Juicy, spicy and very intense but dry and tight, even a bit lean. Conveys a slightly feral character, with black fruit flavors complicated by a meaty quality and some roasted oak. The savory finish shows a touch of dryness. This wine's dark, fresh color and high-pitched aromatics suggest that it's still young, but today it comes across as rather disjointed.

The blockbuster 2000 Orion, which I assume is virtually all Syrah, possesses an opaque purple color in addition to a gorgeous perfume of liquid minerals, acacia flowers, blackberry liqueur, and graphite. Full-bodied, with tremendous intensity, purity, texture, and precision, this fabulous wine should be uncommonly long-lived .... 12-20 years. Tel. (415) 868-1781
