Syrah? Hmm—not getting black pepper, nor olive, just something indistinctly herbal on the nose. Oh well, the soft blackberry-fruited entry is nice enough; sweet mid-palate shows oak but otherwise pretty inexpressive. $50 at cellar door. 88P(?)

A great Syrah to finish the tasting, very gamey on the nose with notes of black olives, bacon and dark cherries. The palate was medium+ bodied and powerful with dark red fruit, black pepper and spice filling out the palate, lush alluring yet a savoury mid-palate finishing a little spicy.

By the glass. Rough aromas of blueberries on the nose. Slightly artificial. On the palate it is offered as a tannic wine with a high acidity. True imbalance. Absence of elegance, characteristic notes either.
Por copas. Toscos aromas a arándanos azules en nariz. Ligeramente artificial. En boca se ofrece como un vino tánico y de una elevada acidez. Verdadero desequilibrio. Ausencia de elegancia o de notas características.

Very dark cranberry. Gorgeous aroma. Black cherry, raspberry, lilacs, lavender. Quite ripe and rich in the mouth, spice, sandalwood. Very smooth and elegant in the mouth. Quite nice. 5-13-16-8: 92/100.
