Boekenhoutskloof Syrah

Drinking at home.

2005 Boekenhoutskloof Syrah - served 40 minutes after opening.  A little hot and alcoholic, but still reasonably sweet, with a hint of dustiness on the nose.  After 1 hour the pungency faded a little, and the nose softened up a little.  Sweet, ripe fruit, with some dried herbs and woodsy notes.
