Great colour and the bouquet was stupendous. Violets and black fruit. Tannins high and a bit short on fruit on the palate. Acidity high. Still needs time

dark color. still a little bit closed. too early to drink. wait another 5 years. tanines were developped and a wine with long depth. but still lots of potential to develop.
Dark red, high acidity, no nose, some sweetness with notable tannins. This was left open for a day to see if the wine would open up and the fruit would pop. Nope....V Tight wine that has either shut down and needs time, or is a wine that will not improve and is not worth the price versus the pleasure gained.
Billiet's Sexy Syrah's (Billiets Abode): Funky nose with some barnyard and dark fruits. On the palate, a puckery sour-ness and disappointing finish that comes up a tad short. It's possible this wine was not stored properly or tainted in some way. Group 6/3 (my 6/6)

Drinking another bottle. Opened for 3 hours. Color is beautiful bright ruby red. Nose : Cassis and sour cherry , violets, loads of pepper. On the palate: Cassis, sour cherry, hint of plum, floral notes of violet and lavender , some pepper and beef blood. Nice drinkability with good finish. Lot of life left in this.
