(Macari Vineyards Syrah North Fork Long Island) The nose explodes with black pepper spice with black and blue fruit, and damp soil and violets there as well. So young that it's perhaps not showing its best yet, the palate is big and mouthfilling with ripe, staunch tannins, but flavor-wise, it's a bit one-note right now with lots of black pepper and only a little black cherry beneath. By day three, a little pencil lead and smoky meatiness emerged. I hope to re-taste this one a year from now.
