November 6, 2023 - Beautiful bouquet with dark berries and great complexity. On the palate juicy dark berries, some menthol, beautiful and juicy acidity and soft and round, powdery tannin. A truly delicious wine with a great length. At its peak now! 94 - 95

February 18, 2023 - Drinking well in early 2023. Dark fruit, some smoke, tobacco and earth. A bit of vanilla from oak. Pairs well with ribs and red meat

May 21, 2022 - Very nice Syrah. It's silky and seductive while not being too heavy
Black and red fruits intermingle with slight pepper and first floor. Needs about 20 minutes to start opening up. -

January 29, 2021 - Deep garnet, the bouquet shows notes of raisin, blue fruit, spicy oak and singed charcoal. The palate has a slight rubber almost reductive edge to it that permeates what is good fruit with lots of blueberry, fleshy texture and cola tonic. The finish is long and juicy but the inner tube and coal note simplifies the wine sitting atop the fruit. A wafer biscuit note also lingers. Perhaps slightly compromised?
