  I wouldn't scoff at the 94 rating, as this was spectacular. Could go a few more years, as I found this to be a big, full wine with a velvety finish. There is plenty going on here, with espresso, leather, and dark fruits. A true jem

  PnP, and it was ready to go without any decanting. Nice full-bodied syrah with the meaty/gamey notes that I enjoy. I would not hold these very long.

  Meaty, dark blue fruits. A little smoke. Tannins settled down by this time and a great acid backbone.

  Young dark purple. After a couple of hours a strong nose with meat notes. Blue fruit with a dark hint. Some cream and violet notes. A big wine, lots of tannin and acid. Spicy, juicy wine with a ton of charm.
