Friends opened this at our 3/2/19 card night. It had a rich, ripe and fragrant nose smoke, blackberry, blueberry, licorice, cardamon, pepper and spice aromas. The palate was rich and powerful with flavors of blackberry, mulberry, black cherry, licorice, pepper and spice. 92+

(Gorman Winery Behind The Black Curtain Reserve Syrah Klipsun Vineyard Red Mountain) Leaps up from the glass with violets, game, mineral, and blueberries on a wildly aromatic wine. The palate has both weight and a real sense of freshness, richness and restraint. 100% Syrah. Aged 20 months in French oak (100% new). Partial barrel fermentation.

This has likely peaked. Full bodied, long finish, fruit is still fresh, well balanced. Drink.

The fiery tannins have softened significantly and this is ambling into a smooth, relatively subtle middle age, still retaining power and depth
Nice balance, be aware of sediment, but even as pnp this was very appealing
