This is the most ageworthy of Fife’s current wines, the one to put your money on. Even at this age, it’s still drily tough and tannicly astringent. But it’s a fine wine, and there is no doubt it has yet to show its stuff. Buried deep is a solid core of blackberry and cherry fruit yearning to get out. This is a wine to buy in multiple bottles, and begin opening in 2009, one by one. Petite Sirah and Syrah.——S.H.(11/1/2006)—— 93
