2006 Alban Vineyards Syrah Seymour's Vineyard RP--98

Robert Parker: 98 Points
Wine Advocate #184 Aug 2009 Robert Parker 98 Drink: 2009 - 2049 $180-$239 The succession of prodigious Syrahs continues with the 2006 Syrah Seymour’s Vineyard (named after John Alban’s father). An infant in terms of development, it exhibits a smoky meatiness along with a forest floor character as well as its siblings’ colossal level of concentration, enormous, multilayered texture, and skyscraper-like mouthfeel. Remarkably, there is no sense of heaviness. Another tour de force in Central Coast Syrah, it should drink well for 30-40 years.
