"The 2018 Syrah Grand Klasse Reserve has a touch more purity but is certainly cut from the same cloth. Ripe black fruits, iron, violets, and peppery herb notes all define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, with terrific overall balance, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's another impressive, singular wine from this team."

"Smoky, savory and delicious, the 2018 Syrah Grand Klasse revels in salty and savory undertones that produce a mouthwatering effect. Fantastic to consume now, this has another decade of life ahead of it."

"The Royal Slope has quickly established itself as one of the state's premier sites for Syrah, and this is another terrific example. The aromas offer brooding notes of gun smoke, smoked meat, medicine, green olive, cedar and brine. Full-bodied flavors follow, showing richness and depth. It's tightly wound at present. Decant. -SS"
