Community Tasting Note

• KeithAkers wrote: 91 points

  September 2, 2021 - Nose: After two hours in the decanter, the nose is still showing a little bit and out of balance. Thankfully with another hour+, it comes much more in balance and shows off all sorts of Syrah goodness with black cherries, raspberries, blackberries, licorice, crushed rocks, black pepper, some smokey notes, violets, and kirsch liqueur tones.
  
  Taste: The feel is Medium/Full bodied with crisp, medium acidity and silky, medium+ tannins. There is a slight coarseness to the tannins and the feel lacks some depth with the alcohol being just a smidge out of balance. That said, this is well balanced and shows very good density on the palate with black cherries, licorice, raspberries, blackberries, crushed rocks, Smokey notes, and kirsch liqueur.
  
  Overall: I’m certain that this could benefit from a few more years of aging to smooth out the rough edges. However, I don’t see this being a long-haul Syrah and that is more than fine! This is lovely, delicious, and at a great price while appealing to a lot of Syrah-loving palates.
