  Earthy, elegant, forest floor, blackberry. Delicious. Long finish. Enjoy.

  This bottle needed a LOT of air... after an hour in decanter it was very flavorful but had a bit of tannic tartness in the finish that limited our rating to 92. Halfway through dinner (90 minutes of air) it opened up with a rush, the tannin disappeared and our score jumped to 94. It's a beautiful Syrah, great with pizza.

  A faithful Syrah, perhaps a touch tart and not as full-bodied as some others. Enjoyable but we have had better.
  
  4/17 Another bottle, maybe a point better at 93.

  Blackberry liqueur and currant on the nose. Dark, brambly fruit on the palate with a hint of oak on the finish.

  Complex scents of espresso and incense smoke, black licorice, some new oak, and very impressive earthy, woodsy aromas. I really enjoyed the very dark / intense black fruits, and the stout profile with moderate tannin & mild acids. A tad sweet which I don’t normally like, but it was so well balanced with the rest of the flavors that I enjoyed its mocha pudding characteristic. You should pair this wine with Spanish Jamon Serrano and any hard cheese will do. This was like stepping into a time machine to the 1990’s when well-made Syrah was dense, sexy, shocking, and built to knock you into the dirt. Decant for at least 2 hours. Drink now or within the next 5 years.
