  Popped and poured. Blackberries, earth and iron on the nose. The wine is very serious and austere with some mouth drying tannin even at age 12. Blackberry, minerals, leather, earth and spice come through on the palate. This is a lot of concentration and length but it’s still looking to come out of its shell. Could rate hire with more time in the bottle.

  Might be fading a bit, it’s still very good just not as good as I remember.

  Great Syrah.... Fruit, but restrained a bit to allow more terrior to show. Getting that slate, clay, graphite with dark fruit contrast. Very nicely done and worked quite nice at a FishHouse.

  Completely dried cork, however the reward inside was wonderful. As I wrote a year ago, "A savory and fruity wine that still reminds me of a Northern Rhone. Just delicious. Concentrated with balance of flavors. Ripe plum, stewed fruit and stone on the nose. Silky tannins with a clean mouthfeel. Baking spices and dark fruit." Even just a tad better now.
