Thursday, July 19, 2012 - Detailed and articulate Chalone Syrah that is compact and still delivers fine, robust tastes. Chewy red licorice, baking spice,
raspberry with pretty clove dotting the background. Soft tannins, but holds together well keep all the flavors at the forefront.
Hints of pipe tobacco drive the understated finish ending with notes of prune and dates. Past prime and was much better
earlier on in it's life. Drink now
