  Decanted one hour before service. In the glass, the faintest hint of auburn at the rim, the only sign of age, otherwise sporting a purple-saturated maroon throughout. On the nose, crushed raspberries, violets, ocean water, and a touch of mint. On the palate, a semi-sweet core of dark berries, with pepper, floral elements, and an iron/blood note that creeps in on the mid-palate and takes over on the long finish. There are still enough tannins present to argue for more cellar time, but if you have a few bottles, now is a good time to check in.

  Not a broad style Syrah at this point, but so much packed into its focused frame. Black cherry, bright strawberry with a core of smoked meat and espresso. A strong line of acidity and black pepper drives everything forward.

  On day three the wine finally showed its pedigree. Macerated spicy black cherries, pepper, iodine and a long finish full of licorice.
  It took three days for the wine to open up and show its real potential.
  Please, keep this in mind and don’t be totally discouraged when and if your bottle doesn’t live up to the hype on the first day.
