Very dense and deeply layered blend, with plums and black cherries; raisiny midpalate and rich tannins. I think that the high alcohol will integrate nicely in the next few years and hopefully will allow for a more velvety mouth feel. I dropped a point from the previous bottle due to the slight heat from the alcohol. Hold for now if you want a nice reward in three to four years.

Wonderful fruit and decent complexity. I think that it's in a prime drinking window, with some dark inkiness and rich syrah flavors. Very nice with a fatty cut of steak. Brings out the acidity in the fruit nicely.

Enjoyed in the tasting room. 2nd time in past 6 weeks. This time it was much better integrated and tasting great. Surprised at the quick change, but you could sense it had the stuffing before. Will still probably wait a year on the bottles I bought.

Drank over two nights. Feel like this still needs 2-3 years to fully integrate, but it's a fun wild ride right now!
