Super disappointing. WAY overblown massive black fruit and alcohol. The wine was truly undrinkable, which is sad given this being a typically solid estate cuvee from John Alban. I did not recognize any range of faults in this wine, but it does seem like some factor is overtaking the other subtle fruit characters that should be here in tandem with the other characters of Syrah.

Both elegant and bold, warm plum, cassis, black pepper, leather. Definitely got better with more air.

Delicious dark fruit, spice, and floral notes on the nose and silky palate with refreshing tannins on the long finish. Drinking beautifully!
