  A beauty. John pulled this out backstage at the Blue Note. Not the perfect setting for me, but I loved tasting this while i worked anyhow. Current and fig profiles. This seems to still have many years ahead of it.

  One of the best wines I've had this year. Dark, brooding, aromatic, gamey....everything you could ever want in a Syrah.

  With MPL at Singer & Foy survey of "Rhone clones." Good dark ruby color. Fine color. Minty fruit. Almost like a Heitz Martha's. Good flavor, but fades too quickly. Good wine. 5-12-13-7: 87/100.

  At MPL's house with MPL and BLR after work (from MPL's cellar). Gorgeous deep ruby color. Fabulous deep fruit on the nose. Smells of new vanillin oak. Very complex multiple nuances. Extremely lush, juicy, powerful fruit. Well-defined acidity. Great mouthful of medium-full-bodied wine. Really nice. Finishes fine but slightly short. 5-13-17-8: 93/100.
