Much too young still. Brambles, earth, smoked meats, and ferrous. Big and chewy in the mouth, some vanilla/oaky notes in there as well. Beast of a wine, but great with grilled meats.

Opened this an hour before tasting and then drank over 3 hours and it just kept getting better. Deep purple color in the glass. Jammy blackberry, bramble, coffee, flint and pepper on the palate. Robust and full bodied with a lingering spicy finish.

A very beautiful deep purple color in the glass. A "rich" nose that shows plum and forest floor aromas. Tart dark fruit on the tip of the tongue, Then some savoriness and some earthiness. An interesting mouthfeel--almos thin. Not terribly full-bodied, but a tad more than mid.

This is my first from this producer and it is impressive. Nose- and mouth-filling flavors, but nothing in excess. The nose and entry are blueberries, but then they recede to be replaced by cedar with touches of tobacco and pepper, then sandalwood on the finish. Nice streak of acidity. A truly lovely syrah. (Second night was a little simpler, mostly blueberry pie, but still very enjoyable if not quite as complex.)
