Absolute fire right now! Explosive nose of lavender, purple fruits and spice, with much of the same on the palate, along with violets, pepper, and a slight hint of meat. Big syrah but pretty light on it's feet (almost to the point of being refreshing) thanks to the acidity. Just layers and layers of flavor, and if not for the slight bit of heat on the finish, this would be a front runner for one of my top reds of the year. Far exceeded expectations. Drink now and over the next couple years.

Blackberry and quite a bit more, this was even better than expected. Held its own with a RunRig and a spectacular Ringland Spanish Syrah at less than half the price of the RunRig.

Decanted briefly. Pure, square-jawed Syrah with purple fruit, a little spice and plenty of power and intensity. Drink now.

Drank over two days and showing well. Pure and simple compared to some cuvees from Sanguis with delicious dark fruit and mellowing tannins. Drink up.
