  Too much alcohol. Off putting flavors. Not good.

  Was hoping for more, may have missed window. Then again maybe not. Day one after 8 our slow ox, nose of artichoke…more barrel notes than fruit notes on nose. Spiced leather throughout and more on the medium body side. Bit to thin for a Syrah and my liking. Day 2 showing signs of raspberry on the nose but same dullness. Happy I only had one bottle. Cheers

  extremely hot! was okay with spicy food, but on its own, is almost undrinkable. decanted about 2 hours. we opened something else to go with dinner. we'll let this sit in the decanter until tomorrow night and see if mellows out.

  We brought this for my sister who has especially enjoyed Syrahs of late. Not sure why, but this felt like just a bit too much for my tastes. The wine was bigger than what I really wanted at the moment and still fairly uni-dimensional. Felt more like a meal than a glass of wine.
