Decanted 30 minutes. Dark ruby color, long legs. Fragrant nose of stewed plums. Very primary but in a good way. Good acidity and good structure. Lots of plums, some dark cherries, smoked meat. Well-integrated tannins, tertiary flavors developing with hints of mushroom and undersoil. This is very good and in an excellent spot. Fruit/forward but not in an overt way.

At our friends Michael and Leslie's house served with the main course of Roasted Duck in a cherry sauce. Opened and decanted at least two hours. This is a big wine. Nose of dark fruit and spices. The palate is dark plums, dark cherry, smoked meat and spice leading to a long smooth finish. An excellent pairing and an excellent wine.

deep purple-red color, roasted game and licorice on the nose, dark fruits, cola, on the palate a large and deep primary fruit quickly leading into excessive oak and heat, short finish.
*, drink up.

Still garnet and opaque. Moderately pronounced syrah aromas, very balanced and rich dark fruit flavors. Excellent and at its peak.
