This Syrah has mellowed; I think it is past its peak yet is still enjoyable. Opaque, inky color with considerable sediment - pour carefully. Dark fruit aromas (black currents and plum) and dark berry flavors - plum, sweet blueberries. Still somewhat jammy with soft tannins and a lasting finish; complex with smooth finish.

Required some breathing time. Drink now or better yet, a couple years ago ... this wine will not improve with age! Less fruit than expected. Kind of on the tart side: red fruit (cherry and currant), spice, and leather. Firm tannins but lacks structure.
