Interesting, savory Syrah with unique characteristics and surprises. Roughly two hours into this, juniper and spice box eminated from the glass. Swirling further, the unmistakable smell of bicycle tires came to mind. Initially pretty blueberry, cardomom and blackberry were sharply defined. Later in the evening, a menthol, tealike edge added another dimension. The finish came into focus as the night continued with ripe raspberry and white pepper rounding out the ending. Consumed over a three consective night period, and the flavors did not dissapate, wasn't sure what to expect, but enjoyed a good experience. Drink now

Purple-red in color. Black pepper and cranberry on the nose. Ripe cherry and blueberry flavors, decent tannic grip. Salud!

This wine was nothing but black pepper. Absolutely no fruit and really no other flavors. Very bad. I wonder if it was flawed in some way.
