Time has not been kind to the 2005 Scrio, Le Macchiole's 100% Syrah. Smoke, tobacco, game and black pepper open up, but the 2005 never comes together. The fruit has begun to fade, while elements of rusticity have developed in its place. History has shown the Scrio to be the most irregular of the Le Macchiole wines in terms of how it ages. I was not at all surprised when proprietor Cinzia Merli told me she was moving much of her Syrah production to newly developed hillside vineyards and away from the flats of Bolgheri. Any remaining bottles of the 2005 need to be finished off. The 2005 wasn't an especially strong wine, even when it was first released, but nonetheless, I expected more.
