In 2008 Scrio was aged exclusively in 1 year-old barrels, with no new oak. Deep ruby color. Aromas of plums, raspberries, spices, tobacco, leather, graphite. Medium+ acidity, dry, medium+ silky tannins, balanced. Taste of cherry and plum with long mineral finish.

Boxing day at NY Verden: Great wine for lovers of heavy oak use, massively extracted dark fruit, lots of tobacco and menthol. The nose suggested this was aged in barriques to oblivion. But for me this was way too monolithic and obnoxious, not in my wheelhouse at all.

Surprised me---would have not guessed syrah in a blind tasting. Great dark fruit but complemented with mineral overtones. delicious.

On the palate: Blueberry, smoked meat, dark matured cherry.
Long finish
