I bought this upon release and it's just been sitting there staring at me. I'm surprised how much life was left in this wine. It definitely would have been more expressive a few years ago. Deep garnet. Blackberry and other dark fruit on the nose with plum and faint bittersweet chocolate on the tongue. Mild acidity. Velvety tannins. Surprisingly luscious. Maybe I'm just a sucker for syrah.

Better than I expected it to be after a couple years on its side, and quite good for the price. Dark cherry chocolate cake, molasses, white pepper, fruit candies. Extracted but not too syrup-y.

An above average bottle of wine that has depth an great mouthfeel. Dark cherry, vanilla and nice spice. Tannins are well incorporated. Tries to be long, but it just coats the mouth.

Decanted for 1 hour. On the nose I got plum, dark cherry and black berries. on the palate I got pepper and berries. Nice tannins.
