  Quite a pleasant surprise, despite the medium (+) hazy, garnet to brown appearance. The nose is all about tertiary development, with pronounced dried mushroom and beef bouillon aromas dominating over the red and black fruit. The nose is developed (+), but the palate is quite a bit more youthful, with medium acidity, alcohol (13.5%) and tannins. Medium bodied, with good flavor intensity and length. The ripe black fruit was a nice foil to aged cow and sheep cheeses. I certainly would not age it any longer, but this is drinking remarkably well and exceeds all expectations.

  Pnp. Dark cherries, meaty aromas, more mellow flavor than the 2005, tannins well integrated, fruit more muted. Drink sooner rather than later.

  First night 87-88 or so; nice sharp Syrah with good fruit, decent body.
  
  Second night 90-91; rich, dense and smooth.
