  August 27, 2019 - Gorgeous, multi-layered wine. Beautiful dark fruit, spicy cloves, cassis notes, with sweet prune paste in background. Fantastic structure. Great finish.

  May 25, 2019 - I slow oxed this for 4hrs prior to serving at the recommendation of someone who had enjoyed a bottle previously...glad I took that advice, and I’d have no problem maybe even doubling that time to 8hrs! Wasn’t so shocked at how powerful this was as I was how it was still tightly wound. The fruit is coming from the “funk” part of the region (not sure if it’s Rocks district or not), and while there is some herbal and savory notes up front, there is plenty of fruit (albeit underripe)...blackberry, black cherry and smoked plum. Great acidity. The mid palate has a streak of herbs de Provence down the middle wrapped in inky dark fruit before turning more savory (roasted game meat, but not funky/iron driven).

  May 24, 2019 - To me, this wine is between 93 and 94 but IMO much closer to 94. This wine is for the savory Syrah lover who is drinking wines with others who may not be savory Syrah lovers. Nose is black cherry, dried herb and bacon fat. Entry is actually quite non-funky, and flirts the funky/not funky line. Black cherry, candied bacon and herbal. Goes to funk towards the finish and the more it approaches room temperature, the funkier it gets. This wine plays both fields, and does so much better than the 13 Horsepower Syrah Luchtel it was opened alongside. This wine was opened about 4hr before being enjoyed and recanted before arriving at its final destination.
