Tuesday, March 9, 2021 - Popped and slow ox'd for about an hour. Medium purple color, slightly cloudy. Really aromatic on the nose with tons of black olive tapenade, high toned purple florals, some under ripe blackberry and black cherry and a hint of fresh cracked black pepper. Unmistakably syrah. Flavors carry through to the palate with a bit of salty olive brine and tart black fruits with some spice. Medium+ acid and tannin. Tons of complexity now but a long life ahead. Really great wine and excellent QPR.
