Fantastic after a 30-minute decant. Initially dominated by savory notes (black olives, game), then the fruit became more prominent and the wine was better balanced (still notably savory).

Excellent Syrah that will just be getting better over the next several years but you’ll be hard pressed to keep it because it is so seductive now. Dark purple color and the fruit jumps out of the Wine glass. Developing some nice savory flavors of olives and saline. Iper extracted with perfect balance. This is an up and coming major Syrah ramps up. Only 49 cases of this one so hopefully you were lucky to get some. 93 points might be too low of a score.

Knew it would be too young but opened anyway. Big nose, super extracted with lots of layering. Big Wine that is only going to get better with time. 49 cases or 588 bottles for the entire World. Glad I own this. Next bottle is a minimum 12 months longer.

Dynamite. The crucial thing is it takes DAYS to open up. The last glass on day three was all the things I could want.
