WINE ENTHUSIAST - 2008 Krupp Brothers Black Bart Syrah
"This is one of the bigger Syrahs out there, generously proportioned and calling out for equally rich fare. Try beef short ribs or coq au vin, using the same wine for the dish. It’s tannic and enormous, with flavors of ripe black cherry and teriyaki sauce." —S.H.

It nonetheless impresses with its deep wealth of precise, keenly defined fruit as well as its tremendous sense of potency, and it very effectively proves the pain tha wines high in ripeness can indeed be in balance."
