Saturday, February 20, 2016 - They don't make 'em like they used to (New York City, NY): Elegance bottled in syrah form. Perfumed, light, and breathy. It feels as if just breathing on this wine would cause it to float. But don't get me wrong, there's so much stuff going on here. The nose has some green olive notes, as well as some tart red fruits. The palate has lovely acidity; the savage elements of meat and char and blood take a backseat to floral and red-fruit tones. This picked up some heft with an hour of air, and started showing a little bit more of those animale elements, though that was never present in great quantity.
