Notes:	This is the first Syrah that I tasted since a long time ago. I was eager to evaluate it. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed at first. I sipped the wine w/o any other food and the taste was not smooth nor pleasant on the palate. I tried it again the next day and this time with some cheeses. To my surprise, this time the wine is smoother and quite good to drink; may be a taste of peppery. So, I give it a B-. I should get a better Syrah and then compare it with this one.
Would I Drink Again:	Probably not
