  Nice nose. Decdanted 1/2 hr. Consistent tastes of dark fruits. This bottle aged well. Drank over 2 days. Day 2 was a bit better than day 1.

  95% Syrah with 5% Viognier.
  Decanted and showing moderate fine sediment.
  Inky and opaque in the glass.
  The nose is complex in it's aromas showing an array of bacon fat, black olive, leather, cured meats, dried violets and earth that weave into notes of slightly dried blueberry, wild blackberry, boysenberry, licorice and hints of pepper, sarsaparilla.
  The palate is medium-plus in body and offers juicy berry-like acidity and smooth, moderate+, silky tannins. Still a good amount of freshness and fruit to this very well extracted Syrah. Flavors coat the palate in blueberry, blackberry and boysenberry jam notes with violet pastilles, licorice, briny black olive, sarsaparilla and earth with gentle hints of pepper. The finish lingers pleasantly. A lot to like about this Cote Rotie styled expression.

  Inky purple colored with a nose of purple fruit, florals and a dollop of bacon fat.
  
  The palate is noticeably big and for my palate, far too much so. In fact, there’s too much of everything. Copious purple fruit that tastes slightly sweet. The other flavors — all playing secondary roles — come and go, flitting among black fruit, vanilla, and bacon fat. Finish is bitter, oaky and unpleasant.
  
  Far too much new oak/fruit/sweetness for my liking. 15.1%abv.

  For my tastes, holding off on this was worth the wait. Aromatically expressive. This bottle showed plenty of fruit still, but also some developing cold climate syrah characteristics, plenty of pepper, and something vaguely like the elusive bacon fat. While a big wine, 15.1% alcohol, time has rendered it a bit more friendly, with no obvious heat.

  Fantastic perfumey nose from the 5% Viognier. Dark, delicious stuff in a N. Rhone style with dark berry fruit, bacon, and iron.
