  High alcohol on the nose, but dark rich fruit dominates the early palate. Rather hot again end palate, but otherwise very smooth and well integrated. Really excellent finish that goes on and on, changing from darker black to red fruit and some earth. I like this wine quite a bit, my only complaint is that it is rather alcohol forward, which otherwise detracts from its elegance. Extremely enjoyable overall.

  Steak and Syrah Night (Tuscany Steakhouse): Opened, but not decanted for about 45 minutes before pouring. Rich, smooth, and more like a Northern Rhone Syrah, than a CA or AU wine. Very enjoyable. Prior bottles felt very full bodied, but this one felt more mid weight.

  My previous bottle of this was flawed, so I was a little nervous opening this one. But all is well. Although it tasted just clunky enough to downgrade it a point from the earlier bottles that I had enjoyed. Still, a favorite with my wine group.

  My 6th bottle of this wine, and the first one that I'm not rating 94 points. I think this bottle was suffering from some oxidation, giving it a slightly bitter, and one note mouth feel. I have a few more bottles and they should still have a few years of life ahead of them. I'm hoping it was just a little bottle variation due to air getting into the bottle at some point. FYI, if this wasn't flawed, I would give it an 88 point score.
