Now I see Julian has beaten me to it! I strongly agree with everything my co-Rambler has said about the topic - and not only because he lives much closer to where it is all happening.
To answer your question: no, I have not tried another vintage of this Syrah. I would assume that the weather played a role in the wine being so well developed, but I cannot compare it to the other vintages. I do hear good things about Syrah from the Pfalz from 2007 though - will keep my eyes open and hope to report back, or perhaps even share one with you at some point!
