Monday, August 13, 2012 - Really liked the nose of this wine. Got a little funk and gaminess on the nose and palate after a short decant, but it dissipated over time. Very dark opaque wine with a deep purple hue and some sediment. Intense blackberry fruit that had a nice lift from the medium acidity level and finished with medium body after an entry of full body. Would of scored this a 93 at times, but didn't stay at that level for long, though I think additional cellar time may allow it to stay there longer. An upper tier CA syrah.
