  Popped and poured and drinking beautifully. Lots of earth and bramble, dark fruited - very balanced and lovely!

  With John G and Brandon at Turner House. My last bottle. Decanted for 2h then back into bottle. Note is 8h after decant. Aromas of roasted game meats, olives, blackberries and herbs. Palate with ripe crushed blackberries, savory herbs, bark, roasted meats, and bitter chocolate. Full body with medium tannins and nice acids. The wine was also pretty fresh despite its age. Can probably go even longer if stored properly. But drinking really well now. 92+

  In a really nice spot. Classic Syrah notes, with complex nose and silky texture. Very good.

  Super fresh raspberries on the nose, cloves.
  Great fruit on the palate, so vivid and alive. Can't quite believe this is 12 years old. Relaxes tannins with some vanilla and leather.
  Straight out of the bottle this is a fruit bomb but it does show its age a bit more the next day. Wouldn't decant too early.
  Great wine.

  A serious negotiant wine. nose deep dark black raspberry, bacon fat, violet, smoke, black pepper. Palate rich, still well balanced, no obvious oak notes, Tannins resolving, though still present. Big, rich wine with ample fruit and herbal notes, moderately long. Well made, hitting above many St. Joseph. Like this a lot - I can only imagine the quality of their house juice from St. Joseph.
