Superb! Big taste of blackberry with white pepper. The Syrah is the top note, but the Grenache is the balance to keep it from being overpowering. Full mouth feel and sustained finish. Soft tannins and very light tar. Great food wine. Extremely drinkable by itself and with food. Paired well with grilled salmon, asparagus, and ripe blackberries. The bottle barely lasted through dinner for two.

This still can safely age a bit more. Great taste. Deep dark fruit-blackberry and raspberry, with a nice bit of pepper on the finish. Full mouth feel and long legs. We'll try the next bottle in a year or more.

Short decant, minimal sediment. Just below room temp this is a fantastic melange of fruit and earthy meaty notes. CdP on steroids. The heat is there but still so good. Drink now or over next year or so; everything in place.

All saddle leather, tobacco and smokey barbeque up front. Fat, ripe and delicious.
