Nose: forest/wood. Taste: dark chocolate, prunes, wood
I think this was a good wine to wait on. With some aeration it is a very good jammy wine with a nice finish. The Syrah really stand out almost Aussie Shiraz like if you know what I mean.

Vibrant purple color. On the nose: tart black currants and juicy black cherries, a real sense of leather (like a new leather jacket), pepper, sweet coffee and roasted nuts. Full and mouth-filling with medium strength tannins and a fresh shot of acidity that keeps it moving forward. Tart black cherries and blackberry jam mix with smoke, tar, leather and pepper. A woody, cigar lounge aspect and the oak is integrated quite well. Will be better in a few years but very nice stuff. 75% Syrah, 17% Mourvedre and 8% Cinsault. Aged 17 months in 1/3 new French oak.
