Saturday, January 22, 2022 - Opened, poured and let sit 1/hr. Then: Muted darkish fruit on the nose. Prickly sensation (as some have noted) on first sip and for the next 1/2 hour or so. From a taste perspective, i I didn't know this was a syrah, I would have said pinot (on the heavy side). Darkish fruit taste, but no noticeable syrah. Medium weight until about 45 min. into drinking, then it seems to put on weight. For the first 1/2 hr, tannins not an issue, then as it puts on weight, tannins much more noticeable. No finish to speak of, but even that gets fairly tannic at the 45 min. mark. Not interesting and not fun to drink. I have a couple more of these and guess I'll wait a year to try the next one and hope things get better.
