Last bottle, I was originally way too conservative about its aging window by at least three years. This bottle is wonderful now but it show hints of time.

Elegant Syrah soft and supple with a complex but mild roasted flavor. Cola, cocao and black pepper. Great finish, long linger. At or just past its peak.

Weekly tasting group RWP #315; Rhone varietals (@ My place): Leather in the bouquet. On the palate juicy and fresh acidity, leather again. No more notes, but this is a beautiful wine and ready now and the next year or possibly even a bit longer.

Quick note from the SoH party - I brought to the party and it showed well with front end florals, lavender, some smoke or cured meats, with lively acidity always calling for food.

Weekly tasting group RWP #277; Northern vs Southern Rhone (@ My place): Beautiful bouquet with leather, metal, licorice, lavender and cinnamon. On the palate juicy acidity, sweet licorice, dark berries, a bit lactic, good acidity and length. Beautiful wine. 90 - 91
