Sunday, March 24, 2019 - Very interesting - my first real cab/syrah blend and tastes like it. Cassis/blackcurrant/bell pepper/coffee grounds from the Cabernet, and peppery smoked meat with something like warm prunes/figs from the syrah. I can see why people are saying the fruit is fading (it hides a bit behind the pyrazines and smoke), but there is plenty of dusty tannin and some acid left, so maybe it can go even longer. Very BBQ-esque with the meaty, bitter notes mixed with subtle dark fruit.
