Saturday, December 24, 2016 - 59% Syrah, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and % Petite Verdot
A brief decant, and mostly to separate the heavy amount of sediment in the bottle.
4 years since my last evaluation and showing its evolution. The nose shows medium-plus intensity aromas of cassis, mocha, suede, blackberry, blueberry, plum, herbs, tobacco, vanilla and light spice.
Acid remains intact on the palate, but the tannins have softened and faded significantly. Showing warmth on the back and moderate density across the mid-palate. Flavors show blueberry, blackberry, plum and vanilla that lead to mocha, sweet tobacco, leather, dried flowers, herbs and soft traces of baking spice.
Overall pleasant but just past its prime, Time to drink up! Cheers
