Opened as an end of night sipper, this poured deep and dark with ripe black and blue fruits and a good dose of toasty vanilla oak. Got a little bit of smoked meat as well but for an 11 year old wine, this still is quite primary. Medium acid and tannin. Drinking well now but can still hold.

Drank over 2 nights, used a Coravin on the first night. First sip presented a powerful, meaty, peppery syrah- more savory than fruit forward. After the first taste, a slightly bitter note emerged and the meaty, peppery profile slid to the corner and hid, and became a pretty basic syrah. No real change for night 2. OK, bit I was anticipating more.

Dark red fruit, subtle black pepper spice. Long smooth finish. Opens up with air.
