A beautiful purple color. Lots of ripe fruit explodes from the glass. Initially muted but transformed within 20 minutes in the glass. Decanted for 9ish hours. Slightly Smokey with charred meats. Bay leaf and rosemary. There is a ripeness to this wine that is so integrated. The palate is juicy with med + tannin and med acid. I would love to see this wine in another 10 years. However, it is drinking beautiful in its current state.

SAQ N° 13085980 Avec carré de biche et sa tombée de maitake. 95% syrah, 5% viognier. P&P. Bouquet sur la violette, les épices douces, la réglisse rouge. Bouche d'une acidité moyenne avec une superbe texture. Réglisse rouge, trace de fumée. Longueur moyenne. Beaucoup plus ample en bouche le jour #2, mais moins aromatique au nez. C'est vivant et frais. Trop jeune mais prometteur. A attendre min 2025. ***(*)

Frederic Wildman Luxury French Tasting (Peninsula Hotel - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. There was an odd note somewhere between VA and reduction that I couldn't get past, despite good concentration.
