  I brought this to OC4Poker XV (#9), served blind, enjoyed over the course of 2-3 hours. One of the standouts on the day, I think; notes consistent with the bottle I opened in January 12. I doubt anyone guessed Langhe Syrah...even I wasn't sure. 13,5% abv, drink thru 2015

  Slow-O 2 hours, served at cellar temp, enjoyed over the following 2 hours. Full ruby, slight sign of age. Creamy oak, raspberry and strawberry, mineral and earth, a touch of herbs. The full-bodied palate shows the generous nature of the French oak first, and the varietal character second. Full bodied, with round, fine-grained tannins. Above-average acidity, medium finish. I still see some upside with this wine. I've been to these vineyards in Farigliano, and was very impressed with the exposures, soil and extremely steep hillsides. As these vines age, they'll be capable of much better quality fruit - I just hope (future) vinification is tempered a bit more to the traditional as opposed to international. Drink thru 2019, 13,5% abv, score: B+
