As others reported, savory red fruits with peppery spice, much like a cold climate / less ripe Syrah. More accessible than a N. Rhone but still on the young side. Pricey but I wouldn't mind trying another one after an additional 4 years or so in the bottle.

Saturated, deep ruby robe. Lifted, mouth-watering bouquet of red fruits, violets, and a hint of bacon fat. Mouthfilling. No discernable tannins. Marred by a long, bitter finish. I have enjoyed other wines in her line more.

PnP. Lighter styled red. Kind of a transparent purple red. Muted somewhat grapey nose. Love the pepper here. Agree with previous note regarding crunchy red fruits. There is a resiny quality here that I like as well. With an hour of air, this gets much better. Pretty darn good. Nice long finish too.

Decanted two hours. Dry and lean with crunchy red fruits, herbs and white pepper. Solid but I expect I hit this too young. There is some left, so I'll see how it does after being opened for a day.
Day 2: Some tomato leaf, crushed white and black pepper, mineral and ripe fruit masked with quite a bit of tannin. The structure really stands out tonight. I like this better tonight and I think this wine will shine with some more time.
