Medium sediment, dark and inky, to cloudy. Earthy character, long finish. Great after half hour in the decanter. Classic syrah aromas on opening. Paid $25, good value at this price but not at the 40-50 asking price. Rated 90-91.

Sight: Med. sedement with purple, dark ruby color. Dark and cloudy with medium legs. A young wine. Nose: Med. intensity with a blackberry, plum fruit backed by raisin tar, leather and clove. Leans towards the earthy side. Taste: Tar, leather, green olive and seaweed with subtle blackberry and anise seed. Not a fruit bomb. Note: With med acidity and smooth tannis, the earthy fruit overpowers making this a slightly offbalance wine. Slightly flabby. A 40 second finish.

Deep, dark purple. Very big wine with some slight reductive notes. Pretty good, but not a great QPR.
