Friday, June 21, 2013 - Drank alongside the Unfiltered version in a side-by-side comparison. Followed the wines for several hours, and my notes reflect my last impressions from the last pours the next day.

The color is a touch lighter than the unfiltered, which shows a little murkier hue.

Black figs and plums on the nose, along with brown spices (cinnamon), green olives, and salt cured meat

Man does this wine have oomph. 15.9% abv is as well hidden as can be, though you can’t help but notice it. Viscous and thick with loads of black plums, roasted figs, soy and grilled beef. Big, fat, new world syrah. Motor oil. Velvety milkshake robe of palate staining syrah. Tiresome.
