Saturday, March 30, 2013 - A beautiful, dark and opaque purple (with much fine sediment). The nose is pure Syrah, olives, meat, and dark fruit. Ripe sweet fruit on the attack, a stiff savory backbone in the mid-palate, and finishes long with grippy but soft tannins. The real beauty of this wine is the voluptuousness of the body, the richness of the mouthfeel, the forcefulness of the grapes, all without a bit of sharpness, rusticity, or a mis-sung note. If this isn't the Burgundian iron fist in a velvet glove, I don't know what is!
