Had with smoked Brisket, perfect. Nose is amazing, earthy red fruit, blackberry and a touch of strawberry, not sweet. Taste is the same red fruit, full body, well balanced, but not complex. Finish was medium, smooth balanced tannin coating in the mouth. Really enjoyed this wine.

Lovely wine. Good energy, acidity, and focus. There is plump blackberry fruit here but it’s backed up with earthy aromas of asphalt, pencil lead, charred earth, and bright spices. Full bodied, succulent, and delicious, and keeps gaining steam the longer it sits in the glass.

This wine took forever to open up, come around, and say "Hi, taste how delicious I am." Dark, inky, and brooding at first, but after the first day, it started revealing dark fruit notes of blackberry, cassis, and viandes grillées and bacon. On the third day, the tannins had softened and only showed a hint of oxidation with dried berry and bacon notes. Nice syrah, but wait a couple years—or open a couple days!

Still a beautiful wine, but on the back end of its evolution.

Not impressed on open. Improved a bit with air. Limited fruit, still a bit harsh.
