Popped and poured. Very dark, black fruit forward with soapy notes strong in the aftertaste. This is the second time I have detected this quality in a wine and both times in a Syrah. The first night I only had one glass and was thinking of a low 80's score. What an improvement overnight. The soapy aftertaste was mellowed into a bit of green/stems which still isn't great but not bad. Everything else about the wine was great: dense layers of dark fruit battle with earth and minerals. I would love to find out the experts description of the soapy notes I detected.

Nice spicy Syrah. Deep purple color and a nice finish.

Chewy and spicy. Good pared with BBQ. Need a couple hours of decanting, still very tight.

Synygy Wine Tasting Club - Shiraz/Syrah (Turbine Hall, Chester PA): black pepper sits on top of -- and adds complexity to -- some dark fruity notes. this was my favorite of the night.
maybe i have the wrong bottling, as i am shocked by the reviews here...
