Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - After ordering some of these from Wind Gap, I found an auction lot of this wine online and snagged 6 bottles at half price. This is one of those bottles. Showing very well out of the gate, violets and kirsch on top with complementary aromas of meat, savory blue fruits, earth, and herbs. Some woodsmoke appears on the palate, which is starting to show more tannic by glass 2. Now in a decanter and we'll see if it keeps cinching up or unfolds further. A great Griffin's Lair. For those of you with professional reviews available, I'd say both the Tanzer and Parker notes do a good job describing the wine but I agree with Tanzer that this is one of the better Syrah wines of recent years. 93+
