  Really a nice bottle of wine that changes from smoke and charcol to smooth interesting. This bottle didn't change when it was open as much as previous. To me it just felt like it was getting tired. This was not a bad bottle it just wasn't the same bottle that kept me wanting more a year ago. Drink NOW!

  Decanted briefly. Deep dark ruby to purple color. Smoky bacon, blackberries, fresh flowers, black pepper, peach pit, and some earthiness on the unusual but very nice nose. Medium to full body with soft, ripe tannins and decent good acidity. I assume it's the bit of viognier that is adding the exotic peach notes to the wine, they are different but very nice, they are even easily noticeable on the palate. Besides the peach on the palate there are smoky, meaty, peppery berries. Finish is a touch short. A very different but nice wine, at least to me it is. I wouldn't hold for too much longer.

  The nose on this wine would lend more towards a Bordeaux than a Syrah. With about 2 hours of air this wine blows off the initial smokey smell to bring forward a nice array of fruits. I feel like this one is possibly starting to tail off compared to my previous bottle. This was excellent with my bacon wrapped smoked pork loin. This is a nice wine that should be drank over the next 6-12 months.
