Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 5, 2023 - I had opened a bottle from another producer that was corked, so this was a last minute stand-in that received no air/decanting - purely pop and pour. It took maybe 30 minutes, but this blossomed into a mature Syrah with high-toned black cherry fruit, and subtle underlying brushy/smoky elements. Structure largely resolved. Not the most complex ESJ Syrah, but perhaps that's a function of the Wylie fruit standing alone without its Fenaughty partner. Feels like a drink now/soon wine, and given that it was bottled under DIAM5 I'll definitely try to do so. No sign that the closure is an issue, but not planning to press my luck.
