  10/17/2023 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 91 Points

  Retail $98. Really. Big. Ass. Bottle. Under cork. 52% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 8% Mourvèdre. "Known as a liquid photograph of [the] estate" according to the website, this bottle (along with being just as ridiculously heavy as the others) is clearly the darkest and most ominous of the three reds I tried. Dark in both color (deep magenta, on the verge of black) and aromas (black currant, dark plum, blackberry, black pepper, with a subtle basil note as well as some earth), this wine almost begs for a gloomy afternoon or a thick Texas ribeye. Or both. The palate is on the verge of brooding with some healthy (albeit mostly silky) tannins that indicate this is a wine made for the long haul. I would certainly suggest a bit more cellar time (4-7 years, ideally) or at least a healthy decant (or two). Fantastic now (91 points) but that would likely go up (perhaps considerably) with more cellar time. 93+ potential?
