Decanted 2 hrs before drinking. Glad I did as there was a lot of sediment.
Dark, almost impenetrable purple in color. Dark blue fruits, a bit of a floral note on the nose.
Wine was dense but open at the same time—concentrated blue fruit flavors but good acidity lifts everything and keeps it from being too heavy. Loooong finish. As others have noted, this may not be as savory as some other vintages, but the balance is there and this is simply a delicious wine.

Deep opaque purple. Drank over several hours and noticeably improved with airtime so recommend a 1 to 2 hour decant. Nose and taste is smoke, ash and pepper dominated with mostly dark ripe plum and tart blackberries. Some initial jerky flavors (not my thing but know others enjoy) faded over time. High acidity. Long finish and full bodied. About 91-92.

Enjoyed these on PnP. Classic syrah- meaty and fruity.

PnP.
Still weighty with vibrant purple fruit and spice.
Plently of life left -- I expect this to continue to improve.

Full body with lots of fruit but not so over the top as to mask the other flavors
