March 30, 2015 - Not the best showing. Hot and rich. Dark spicy purple plums, sweet cassis and some elements of pepper but just over the top for me. The finish is hot and not extremely enjoyable. This showing is a pass. Can't win em all.
March 12, 2015 - Day 1: Deep garnet color. Ruby rim. Slight bricking. Nose of cherry with an alcohol burn. Black cherry up front. Middle of oak and alcohol. Light tannin and oak to finish up. Some disjointedness in the finish.. seems to fall apart. Medium/Long finish.
Day 2: Fruit has nearly disappeared leaving only the oak and alcohol behind. Drink up and drink on night 1.
87pts on Night 1.. 80 on Night 2.
January 21, 2015 - Oak really sticking out above what seems like pretty syrah fruit. Tannin is pretty much close to resolving, so it's a race to see what will win out over the next couple years. Could be lovely, could have missed the moment when the fruit was in the lead. We'll see.
