Sunday, September 18, 2016 - A lot of Wines at Tommy's Clambake (again again) (Tommy's): Served from Mag, I had with about 80% gone from the bottle and had been open for 4 hours, so it was fully aerated. Delicious Syrah. Soft and accessible. Deep black raspberry fruit. Lifting aromatics. Powerful finish. Loved the wine. No obvious oak showing at that point which I only mention as it can be an issue for me in his Chards and Cabs. I don't think I ever had his Syrah before. Great wine.
