  This bottle benefited from an hour or so of decanting.
  
  The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes like blackberry, cherry, mushroom, oak and black pepper. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
  Nicely balanced acidity and tannins.

  Blackberry, iron, olive brine, potpourri. Medium-plus body. Medium acidity. Medium-light tannins. Medium-plus finish. Drink now or in the next 2-4 years.

  Lots of purple notes. Some smoke and a bit inky. Tart finish, slightly limpid, not a full-bodied meaty Syrah. Not great by itself but rounded out better with food. The 2011 was a lot more enjoyable.

  Basic stuff. Seemed flat and unflavored
