Community Tasting Note

  February 28, 2011 - Initial smell: Chemically, not what I am used to from a syrah. The normal smell is there under a film of cleaner. Not a bad smell, just different.
  Initial taste: Tastes tight. Slight tannins (sharp start and finish), hint of sweetness. Not jammy, but fruit is present. More of a mineral taste around the edges.
  Going to take a taste tomorrow and see how this plays out.
  Smell 12 hrs later: No chemically/alcohol burn. Very gentle.
  Taste 12 hrs later: Taste is clean syrah, but the flavor just doesn't seem to be there. The sharpness has disappeared.
  I think it hit its peak sometime while I was asleep. This might be something that needs to decant for about 4 hours to enjoy it.
