(100% Syrah, 13.5% Alkohol) Rubinrot, dunkler Kern. In der Nase etwas weiter entwickelt als der 2010er im Glas daneben, reiffruchtiger, wärmer anmutend, mit eingekochten Früchten, einer pfeffrigen Würze. Im Gaumen gradlinig, gut strukturiert, der Wein zeigt Ecken und Kanten, wirkt frischer als die Nase vermuten lässt, die Gerbstoffe sind fein mit der Frucht verwoben, die Säure stimmt, langer, feinwürziger Abgang mit einem rotfruchtigen Rückaroma. Ab sofort bis 2040 geniessen.

Simply astounding. Racy, lively, crimson and growling. It exudes charcoal and fresh blackberry tart, weaving in licorice and cola notes near the end. The length is more than 2 minutes, and dances with crushed flowers, a bit of animal fat, black olive, and velvety black currant. The experience of this wine left me subdued. Will soar for 25 years or maybe more?

A Matter of Taste (Meritage Resort & Spa Napa, CA): 94-95+ Another tight and relatively closed down wine for me. 2nd BIG wine that is seemingly closed for business. Loads of dark fruit, gravel, very tannic and not too much else that stuck out to me. This definitely has the guts to go the distance though. Great structure, good acidity and I imagine this will be absolutely sublime in another 10-15 years.

Tight and unforgiving. Try again in 3 years.

Blackcurrent and Licorice nose. Softer fruit, stone fruit on the palate. Quite young but ready to drink. Lovely higher note Shiraz.
