Monday, November 8, 2010 - Scored cautiously since this one is a real baby -- decanted for 1-2 hours and drank with cheeses, fruit and bread. Very dense, with strong earthy and olive notes. A chewy syrah-monster that needs more time -- unless it mellows, this will be disliked by those who aren't into the over-the-top Syrahs so prominent now out of Walla Walla, but this will be right down my line once the complexity is able to come forth. Needs at least a couple of more years for its sweetspot, but it was enjoyed for what it was by 3 of 4 of our group (the 4th not liking its outside the barnyard earthiness).
