Translucent cherry red. Faint, earthy nose. Pleasant fruit on the palate, blueberries, cherries. Bit one-note. Soft tannins, decent acidity, good balance. Finishes moderately long with blue fruits. Nice, but I'd drink up in the next year or two.

Black currants, white pepper, garrigue and sweet tobacco lift up from the 2010 Syrah Rosella's Vineyard. This is energetic, spicy and spry, with cool-toned textures giving way to brisk acids mixing with ripe blackberries, savory herbs and a stimulating twang of tangerine. The 2010 keeps the energy high throughout the finish, both cheek-puckering and primary, making for a remarkably fresh and floral-tinged finale.
PnP then drank over two days. Deep purple fully extracted. No brick. Nose is expressive with savory notes, pepper, spice with camphor overlay. Dark fruits with rounded tannins a bright backbone long finish. Drinking great and lots of life left.

I enjoyed this wine over two nights. First night, it took at least an hour for the wine to relax. Substantial weight together with leather and spices were the big impressions. Second night, it was a much rounder wine, with subdued ripe plums and blackberries.

PnP. No detailed notes. Big. Dark. Fairly earthy. Nice spice. Still plenty of time left.
