This is all there, stood up for the most of the morning on Thanksgiving day, single decant for two hours and felt it was pretty impressive. All dark fruit IMO, felt the tannins were a little tongue stripping for the age but the fruit was definitely out front. Finishing tonight and the tannins have pulled back quite a bit. I love how these indestructible Syrahs just evolve over hours and days. 92 on average over both days, excellent Syrah, Bravo Alban !
