This started out quite tannic and structured on day one. Enjoyable but a bit rough around the edges. Day two it fell apart it was held at 57 with the cork in it and 75% of the bottle left. No more tannins, flabby plum and blackberry.

I think I might be a little generous with a 92 rating. But a 91 just didn't seem right. I've had a couple of wines from this producer and usually dig their style.....with Cabernet. Lush blackberries with ample weight and rounded edges and I noticed baking space towards the finish. On the finish, this Syrah was definitely present. To me, seemed to add a more purple fruit type of character and had to check that this was not a Malbec blend! Was a nice touch, but not a personal favorite. I think I would have dialed back the syrah a few notches. I think their Cab Franc / PV combination would be more for me.
