“Wow. The 2020 Smith-Cullam Syrah is such a distinctly perfumed and characterful wine. Abundant flowers adorn the nose here: lavender, violets, lilac, winter mandarin, pink peppercorn, citrus blossom, blackberry, plum, licorice, clove, star anise and fennel flower. In the mouth, the graphite, black tea tannins provide an invisible support for the fruit. The wine is silky, svelte, concentrated and fine. Through the finish, a very precise and delicate musk stick perfume lingers long after the wine has gone. It's a beauty.” — 97 Points, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
I enjoyed the wine in so far as it is well rounded - the taste of black fruit evident - not sure about the liquorice though. All in all for the price a pleasant easy drinking wine.

Super ripe very smooth dry red, with just a hint of Cherries in that Italian style and You are able to drink this wine with or without food, Very good value at $20.
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
