Consistent with previous note from last year but would add it seemed better integrated than last year:
Previous note: "WOTN; Really an incredible rendition of CA Syrah. We drank alongside two Cab's - Carter TK and Bevan Tench. High ABV but was really well integrated, big blue fruits with a looooong finish. This should last at least another 10+ years."

Popped and poured thru a powered aerator. Color is deep opaque eggplant purple with floating sedimentation. Sweet nose of chrysanthemums, oak, blackberries, anise and bourbon soaked honey covered puff pastry. Taste is similar with some ash and cigar on the mid palate and bourbon on the finish. Ultra smooth mouthfeel. Medium to low well integrated tannins and acidity. Full bodied. I’m becoming a really big fan of Alban wines. About 94 points.

Opened and decanted for about 30 minutes. Drinking surprisingly well. Nice rich spicy fruit.
