Decanted for a few hours. This was good for the style, a bit young for me, but nonetheless drinking well. Classic syrah notes of bacon fat are there, but as a lover of bordeaux this does not have the depth and complexity that gets me excited.

This wine still very young (obviously), but has great structure and opened up nicely after a few hours decanting. Nice acidity adds balance, slight touch of heat on the finish.
