Tuesday, September 29, 2009 - – decanted for one hour before tasting –

NOSE: A rather straightforward bouquet of dark fruits, oak and smoky beef jerky.

BODY: lots of fine particulate matter; medium-full to full bodied; dark purple color of great depth.

TASTE: very ripe, perhaps concentrated, dark fruits – grapey, blackberries; oak; alcohol; hints of woody spice; hint of campfire smokiness; 30 sec. finish is shorter than I expected from this wine, given its weight, density, and alcohol (15.5%). Obviously a warm climate new world syrah. Definitely showing better than the last bottle I had. Solid, not spectacular.

B: 50, 5, 11, 15, 6 = 87
