Score 90/100 · Drink 2011-2018, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, Oct 2011
Produced since 1992, the vines for the Bullnose Syrah are now 20 years old. Purple-black in color, the 2009 Bullnose Syrah gives up a pronounced nose of blueberry compote and blackberry pie filling with hints of cloves, moss covered bark, allspice, toast and aniseed with a whiff of white pepper. Medium bodied and concentrated in the mouth, it gives a good structure of crisp acid and firm, ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and peppery. Drink it now to 2018+. No known USA importer.

Not a bad answer to Côte Rôtie! A little more ripeness than most but refreshing and interesting. Polished. (JR)
