My last bottle and that is a pity. The wine is at its peak now. Still dark berries, good acidity. Also sweet spices and chocolate. Better than previous bottle.

14.5% alcohol; imported by Saranty Imports, White Plaines, NY; 95% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre; 'JR' stands for Joseph Torres, the winemaker's (owner's?) great grandfather; Saranty, like some importers, incorrectly uses the decimal comma '14,5%' in the English part of the label; paper-thin foil, real cork, medium legs, dark purple; weak nose, some fruit; vinturied and tasted at ca 15 degrees C; notes of apples, minerals, citrus, rhubarb, trace of vanilla; nice balance if fruit and subdued tannins; pair with hard cheese, or drink solo

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #116; Rhône; small appellations. (@ My place by WW): In the bouquet creamy red berries, herbs, chocolate and plums. On the palate tea, red and dark berries, herbs, juicy and peppery. The wine was a bit unpleasant at first, but with some more air time it improved considerably. Also brown biscuit spices appeared.

Dark berries, chocolate, licorice, soy. The wine developed quite much overnight. Still nice. Drink up.

Quite powerful, full taste, still tannic and high alcohol. Also, lots of sediment - decanting advised.
