Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 29, 2021 - First bottle of the 2019. WINNER! I opened this about 11am, we started drinking it around 2PM at an outdoor temp of about 68f, which was perfect. Initially, this showed white pepper but with time and more air, the pepper evolved to smell like the 2018 from last month, full of crushed black pepper. In addition, grilled meat and purple flower notes, too. And early on, I remarked to my buddy that the palate wasn't keeping up with the beauty of the aromatics but after 4 hours of air, the palate caught up big time. A lot of gorgeous blue fruit, with some touches of red, seeming a bit primary early on but then gaining tar, and charcoal, the fruit becoming just gorgeous. In total, this is just a banging bottle of syrah, and as much as I gushed about the 2018 last month in my note, I think I like the 2019 even more. A wow wine, without a doubt.
