The Mak showcases the style of straight-up syrah. It avoids the pitfall of tasting over-ripe, and instead brings a clear and balanced taste to your palate. There is a very nice burst of fruit, but don’t expect it to last more than 3 seconds. Like the d’Arry’s Original, this wine has a curious earthiness that I am not accustomed to. In the case of the Mak, it is only in the finish. Its not a detriment. I don’t know what it is. But this wine is very smooth, and well worth the price.
