PnP at a restaurant and ready right away with only minor sediment. Very dark fruit profile and full body, with average acidity. Tannins fully resolved, but still has good structure. Very pleasant to drink with plenty of blackberry fruit. Still drinking well and should hold another couple of years.

Drank over two nights. Almost inky in glass and a ton of sediment. Beautifully structured, with a fair amount of heat/spice, dark fruit and some bacon and oak on the finish. Really enjoyable.

Decanted an hour and drank over the next 3 hours. Big dark fruit, smoke, tobacco, tar and a bit of oak. A little heat on the back with some noticeable tannins.

Fantastic wine. Give it a couple hours to breathe and then the meaty, bacon, black fruits explode out of the glass. Big, full wine. Excellent day two as well. Outstanding now, but will continue to age well.

Classic Syrah nose with bacon fat, olive, and a wonderful mustiness. Smooth and silky with lots of fruit, but not cloying or over the top. Long finish. This wine should age well for many years, but is approachable now. EXCELLENT.
