very good on the first day, ripe fruits with solid oak. by the second day it had become an oak monster. advise opening if you plan on drinking the entire bottle...only save for the second day if you really love oak! would buy again.

Much better than I expected. Definitely a big stlyed Syrah, but a pretty decent example of that animal. Red fruit with fig notes. Jammy, but not unpleasant. Fans of this particular style may find this a great QPR.

Very thick, loaded syrah. Displays a spicy backend, the mouthfeel is very interesting, velvety. It improved noticeably after 24h in the fridge, allowing the spices to show and the sweetness of the first day to become more subdued.

This tasted / smelled past it's prime. Funk / musty smell & dirty sock taste. Had some syrup like syrah after tones.

An expected Syrah. Very thick, dark, and sweet. Not unpleasant, but probably best alone or with cheese, not food.
