Last tasted 18 months ago. To my surprise this wine has aged gracefully, mellowing out big time. much softer around the edges, supple and rich. Some plumb on the nose and front palate with black cherry and pepper. Nice smooth finish. Still has a few years left.

This is a big fruit forward Syrah. A heady mix of black cherry and spice in the nose. Flavors of black fruits, plum and pepper are prominent but overshadowed by the alcohol which dominates on the finish and doesnt allow the fruit to shine. Still a decent quaff, but not aging as gracefully as I had hoped and probably best consumed over the next 1-2 years.

Very good, but expected more. Might not have allowed it to sufficiently open.

Nose of smoke, plum, bacon fat & heady alcohol. Bright cherry and velvety mouthfeel up front leads to a slightly lean and tannic finish.
