    March 25, 2023 - Decanted for five hours. Kirsch, dried blueberries, ripe raspberries, espresso, smoked pork shoulder, baked peaches, smoky teak and acacia. There’s some needed acidity, with a very youthful presence, and a need to still gain some air. Fine, grainy tannins and a plush, savory middle palate. There’s an aftertaste of smoke a red fruit, yet a form of restrain. This is less dark and brooding than upon release, starting to present itself, yet it is as opaque as one could imagine visually. Still, some age will help. There’s this sweet backend and elixir quality. All around an intriguing vintage for Eleven Confessions Syrah. Drink 2026 -.

    ‘10, ‘15 and ‘16 are my favorite vintage’s for Eleven Confessions. However, I have yet to try ‘18 and ‘19. Yet…

    May 24, 2022 - Popped and poured following golf. Quite floral and pretty from the onset. Raspberry coulis, ripe black berries, pepper and bacon notes as well. Full-bodied and massive, but balanced. Abundant black fruit with fine tannin and a long finish.

    May 22, 2022 - Big wine. Almost not drinkable at this age. Monolithic. Would wait 5+ years.

    March 13, 2022 - Massive wine. Dark, inky and brooding. A little bit of menthol, bramble and a hint of stewed meat. It's thick, heavy and weighted. There's so much going on you can get lost. Like getting pulled under in a tsunami. This wine is great now and it is so youthful, I imagine it shouldn't be opened for at least another 5 years before it takes flight.

    March 5, 2022 - Pulled the cork and poured perhaps six or seven hours later. Inky dark color. Aromas of boysenberry, blueberry, pepper, raspberry liqueur and game. Firm, sweet tannin. Black raspberry, spice and pepper, with wonderful sweet dark fruit and chalky tannin. Lingering finish. Still rather big and primary, but not unexpected given the producer. Needs a couple of years yet, perhaps from 2025+.
