December 2, 2023 - Beautiful nose with dark cherries, raisins, spicy acohol notes. Beautiful acidity, with round palate that is minerally tinged. Plums, cherries, forest floor - complex but still bright - with medium tannins and nice notes of oak on the long ending. A complex, still young wine taht will no doubt improve with time but already excellent. I have 4 more bottles I will keep for a few years.

December 31, 2022 - Unmistakably Syrah on opening, this bottle mellowed toward the sensitive, as opposed to overpowering, side of the grape's tendencies. Decanted several hours before serving, the peppery notes took a while to emerge but the wine always continued to say "Syrah" as opposed to "SYRAH!!!!" A nice complement to roasted beef tenderloin.

November 30, 2017 - Massive, powerful, concentrated, intense, frightfully tannic and still young. Yet, once you dig your way through its youth, the wine screams to get noticed. The textures are like molten syrah that oozes all over your palate, teeth and gums, staining everything in its path. Extreme patience is required here. Based on previous vintages, this should require, if not demand another 20-25 more years before it sheds its youth, and morphs into the mature stage of life.
