Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 27, 2014 - An absolutely lovely effort from Maggie Harrison. She has managed to create a full-bodied, yet balanced and quite intriguing expression of Syrah in the 2008 Blue Label. The nose expresses classy dark fruit and a lot of coffee and lovely luxurious oak. The fruit is massive and adds to the super structure of this effort. There are also tones of red berries and dried flowers, which nicely increase the overall complexity. The palate adds nicely to the overall experience with a lovely balance, but definitely a few hard edges. Time might help, but I am not sure seamless integration is a good preference for this style. I certainly love it for what it is!
(Tasted in a flight with 2000 Ojai Thompson Syrah Special Bottling, 2008 Lillian Blue Label Syrah, 2008 Saxum Broken Stones Syrah and 2008 Alban Patrina Syrah.)
