Plum and blueberry with some earthiness on the nose. Plum, blueberry and vanilla, some mud, cedar, then a black pepper finish. The earthiness makes it more complete than the last bottle.

Deep, deep purple. Heady tar, meaty with dark cherry notes. The taste is dominated by tannins with some tar and licorice. Not much fruit showing but a long tannin dominated finish (a little sour). 5+12+11+6=84

Plum and vanilla nose. Blueberry, plum, vanilla through the mid-palate. Cedar and black pepper on the long finish. Solid effort.

Earth not much fruit...lots of tannins even after decanting. May be better today. Not my favorite syrah.
