April 27, 2024 - 2017 Piedrasassi Syrah Sebastino-Patterson vineyards. 13.5% abv. 100% Syrah. Purchased on release and kept in my cellar. First bottle of six. PnP, poured in a glass and let breathe for a couple of hours. I’ve tasted this before and this doesn’t seem to have evolved much, at least from memory. Both on the palate and on the nose, this still feels quite primary.
On the nose, there is loads of savory herbs (I get a good amount of thyme), olive tapenade, it’s meaty, peppercorns, some black tea, dark fruits, I would say mostly blueberries and maybe some sour cherries. On the palate, there’s more meat, maybe some lamb, some boysenberry, some blueberries, some rosemary, and some black tea. I feel like the palate might be a bit closed at the moment, but that might just be me. Very long, some tannins, medium plus acidity, and medium body. Overall, I will leave these alone for a few more years, maybe wait until the 10-year mark?112 views
