Saturday, November 19, 2011 - Bottle breathed for 5 hours, drank over 3 hours.

Very nice expression of syrah. The californian richness was definitely there but it was remarkably balanced and had an elegant robe around wrapped around ot and giving it great silky mouthfeel.

There were layers of flavours, coffee, leather, black pepper, spices, smoke and other nuances appeared over the 3 hours; very well integrated and softened tannins. Long finish and was just an incredibly delicious and well made wine.

With dinner, it matched the richness of my ragu pasta as well while the cajun pork brought out the pepperiness more due to the spicy nature, but the savoury notes of the caramelized onions and sweetness of the roasted pepper sauce balanced everything out nicely. Marvelous stuff.
