March 10, 2024 - Received partial bottle from my oenophile neighbor
14.9% abv
Had a glass with Lasagna. Deep Dark Purplish Red on the Pour; opaque in the glass. Fragrant nose of sweet Blackberry. Blackberry and Cherry on the palate. Robust and full-bodied. Supple tannins and moderate acidity. Exceptionally smooth for a great full-mouth feel. Superior, Elegant wine. Spouse Endorses. -

February 12, 2024 - This Syrah showed its pinnacle drinking enjoyment on day 2.
Opens with a nose of deep violet florals and gaminess on day 1. Nice integrated dark fruits,orange rind, tar, trace of menthol, minerality, long finish & medium + acidity.
It has a nice silky mouthfeel and is just hitting its stride. Glad to have another bottle for a few years down the road.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 6, 2023 - Dark fruits with hints of smokiness and spice. Drinking well but may still be on the upslope and improve with more time - no rush in any case.
