  This young Colgin Syrah ‘19 is breathtakingly beautiful. Deep, rich, dark, opaque, mammoth of a wine. Intense on the nose and palate. Sun baked flowers, roasted meats, dark berries, sautéed plums, briny olives, rich minerals, iodine, savoriness, tar and slight rubber. This has a lot going on. People compare it to old world and I agree. Chalky tannins, sandy acidity on long finish.

  This ‘21 Bard was good but not great. Seemed more approachable than the ‘18 or the ‘19 to me. Hopefully it gets more complete in year or so. Ripe dark berry fruit, plums on nose and palate, hints of baking spices, vanilla, mint and just very pleasant from start to finish.

  Ok this Herold entry level bottle is at a real good stage. Notes of newly picked blackberries, plums, fruit custard, tobacco, mint, eucalyptus, hints of crushed stones and violets. Lifting acidity, ripe tannins on medium-long finish. Excellent wine and I felt it was close to the Realm Bard ‘21 at twice the price!
