97 Points

Wednesday, December 22, 2021 - If you have cellared this wine well, you will be incredibly rewarded. Pulled the cork at 1 pm to sloOx, then decanted into a wide decanter at 5pm. Slowly poured back into the bottle at about 6 pm and then started drinking about 7:30. Clearly entering it's drinking window as it is now a wonderful combination of power and elegance. The fruit is clearly syrah but is not overly ripe with substantial complexity including tar and tobacco which is one of my favorite profiles. This is a world class wine and will hold at this peak for probably another 3 years but last another 5-10.
