  • Great balance. Tasted over 2 days. Dark red fruits, blackberries, hints of leather, licorice. Well intergrated tannins. Enough body to go another two years or so.

  • Agree with previous review, on the sweet side, plum, with a hint of prune. Easy drinker, merlot smooths out the Syrah well. 3 hrs decant helped. probably should drink my last bottle soon, maybe longer decant...

  • Decanted an hour,
    Smoking nose, which after 3 hrs the tail just catches up barely, this needs even more time, nicely wound taninns with oak, blue fruit predictedly in the mix, a short finish now but with a Med cellaring this will hammer out.
    Try again in 2018.
    Good juice-

  • Nose is reticent. I get pull out cherry sweet rolls and a bit of Chambord. On the palate, just the barest suggestion of fruit; like a non-sweet cherry syrup. But the secondary flavors are quite good: Soy sauce and maybe just a touch of spice and black tea. With some time in the glass, the fruit becomes more prominent in both the nose and the palate. That’s not usually the way it goes, but that’s the way it happened for me.

    When it touches my palate, it's a much softer texture than I remember from my last bottle. But at the end there are spikes of acid and just a hint of fine drying tannin that give it some assertiveness and backbone and prevent me from saying that it is fully resolved. Still, I’m not sure how long I’d wait before drinking this one.

  • PnP, I wish I would have waited. The last glass was better than the first. It took a couple hours until the fruit really started to come out. Paired with aged Gouda, worked well with the Syrah/Merlot blend. I will hold the next bottle for a couple years or so.
