Community Tasting Notes 20

  November 14, 2023 - Last of the Exposition series syrahs. A worthwhile endeavor, if not the best QPR. Starting to show some age with subdued fruit and secondary characteristics. Minimal tannins. I'd suggest drinking soon but all may not agree.

  October 13, 2023 - Decanted this for an hour before service. Right away, the aroma hits you...big dark fruits; blackberry, plum, maybe some fig? Coffee, some barrel notes, a bit of black pepper. Alcohol is lightly evident, but the fruit melds nicely with it. I will admit that this got harder and harder to drink as it sat in the decanter longer. Best right off the pop. Acid and tannin took over as it got more air. By hour 4 it was near undrinkable. Just a wall of black tea and battery acid with some blackberries hiding underneath. Not sure how to call this one. I loved it for the first couple of hours. Amazing wine, like 96-97 points! Later on, not so much...more like high 80s. Splitting the difference and going 93. I really think this has the legs to go another 10+ years at this point, so no rush to open these. Drink now - 2033+.

  April 30, 2023 - Right out of the bottle this still impresses. As it airs it slowly looses the nose and palate complexity becoming an ungiving spicy, alcoholic, one dimensional tough wine to like. When first poured it was excellent with a deep nose and palate featuring black cherry and meaty notes. As it aired the alcohol dominates and any fruit influences go away. This bottle was stored in temp controlled storage for the entire time.

  March 5, 2023 - Deep color with black raspberries, spice and floral in the nose. Lots of black and blue fruits, blackberries and black raspberries with licorice and spice in the flavor. The texture of this Syrah was really excellent and stood out to everyone drinking it. A rich, complex wine, medium to full bodied, very well balanced and a long silky finish.

  December 9, 2022 - Cork broke upon extraction with cork screw. Filtered while pouring this wine into a decanter. Unbelievable intense nose of red fruits and flowers. After the initial slight off-taste blew off, this wine tasted fresh and delicious all evening. Some of the fullness did diminish as the evening progressed, but it was always a joy to taste this very special wine.
