  The nose shows bright fruits - cherries, stewed strawberries, mulberries. Elegant. Nice acidity, fresh and round with again bright plums, blackberries, strawberries. Semi-integrated tannins, with medium+ ending that shows some vanilla notes and even incense. Straigthforward but very well made - faultless Syrah. On the fresher side but still with good structure. I wouldn’t wait much longer to drink as this is in a great spot now. Doesn’t have any particular wow factor but it delivers - especially given the price.
  
  P.S.
  -I am upping the score on day 2. This was more fragrant, more complex after a good 22 hours. Much better and much more enjoyable.

  Grilled meat and seared bacon in the nose. Everything world class Syrah is supposed to be. Rich, smoky and savory, with stunning pepper on the finish.

  Decanted for 1.5 hrs. Initially had a serious Benadryl/cherry cough syrup smell and taste. This blew off after another half hour or so to reveal a very fruity blueberry tinged aroma with some leather and pencil shavings on the palate. Some smoke and spices on the slightly sweet finish leave a positive impact. would have scored much higher without the initial distraction ( and we're Stolpman devotees!)
