High on interest but not as high on enjoyableness as we would have imagined based on the reviews and the hype.

Best to keep for 2-4 more years I imagine.

Would probably have benefitted from another couple years laying down.

Tasty stuff, became more and more straightforward to ID as zin aa it had breathed, last glass after 2hrs decant was the best.

Critiscism is the alcohol was sharp esp on the nose

Tasted blind. I found syrah as varietal relatively easily but was torn to ID new world vs old world, this was more prescient than I understood.
