Typical of previous vintages of Merryvale P-S I've had. Rather big and bold at this stage, although the second half of the bottle saved overnight was more inline with my palate. I'll give my other two bottles some more time.

Chocolate, darkness, dark berry on the nose, this is mirrored quite well on the palate, with a touch of acid balance, the finish for me is lacking; I wish for a bit more on the palate given the depth of the nose. Touch of prune and plum on the backend after some time. It’s a reasonable representation of the grape; my palate has been spoiled by the most recent Relic Petit Syrah which was similar flavor profile but offered more depth, body, and a syrup palate experience that vastly overshadowed this. Not bad but not excellent.
