Thursday, November 3, 2011 - My second bottle of this. The first bottle didn't seem quite right....TCA. Damn. This bottle....this is the way it is supposed to be. I agree with Nutty08 on all counts, including this being my favorite vintage. On the nose, elegant Syrah, a hint of smoke nicely balanced against equally weighted sweet perfume. Capped off with a background sense of minerality/iodine. On the palate, balanced and smooth. Perfect weight. Long finish with fine tannins. This is gorgeous! Will be better in 3-4 years. Down to one bottle, need to try to make it last!
