93+. This wine is really in its prime. Bold, sweet fruit comes through, typical of Nicora wines, but this wine also has excellent structure and balance.

My, this is good. It has the "house character" of Nicora wines, being very feminine, perfumy, and full of sweet ripe fruit. This is not the style of Syrah I usually drink, but it is exceptionally well made. I think Nicora wines are the best of those produced in Paso, and consistently so.
Edit: with an additional hour of air, anise and chocolate notes come to the fore.

Same notes as 3/12 with the addition of more lavendar and herbs. Really was the WOTN on Father's Day!

Similar notes hold true. Lovely bottle but a bit of heat peeking through

Violets, anise seed, boysenberry coulee, and some roasted meats pretty much sun up this lovely wine. Aging nicely. No decant was necessary.
