Monday, April 23, 2018 - The wine came out of the bottle feral, energetic a fusion of aromas. It excited me. The test - wife said it was rotting berries. A lot of smokiness, fermentation, stems, and an occasional whif of purity.

The rest of the bottle was poured in a decanter - Over the next hour or three, everything tamed down, that purity of blue fruit came through again.
The wine became very soft and tannins were non existent.

Much preferred straight out of the bottle, a classic - then relaxed into a soft subtle Syrah that was better on the nose then palate.

Next bottle, I’ll pop and pour, recork, and repour as needed.
