Big. Aroma immediately took me to a winery barrel room - oaky, with big, primary, grapey notes, along with ethanol. The alcohol gets in the way of this wine; it's very much in the forefront of the aroma and flavor profiles. Red grapes and very ripe blackberry notes round out the flavor.

Mild on the nose with bright fruit and a little oak. High-toned on the palate, with bright acidity. High alcohol comes through as well. Good now, especially with food, but likely better when the acidity settles down a bit.

A little musty, with mushroom notes. Drying, and balanced overall, but nothing really stands out. Not one of the better Sentinel Oak syrah vintages.
