While I really enjoyed this a year ago, this time not so good. The cork seemed to be in bad shape, so based on my previous good experiment I believe the issue was this particular bottle.

Inky, saturated, highly extracted. Tips the alcohol scale at 14.2+. Dark berries, plummy, leathery nose, cracked pepper, decent acidity, heavy oak, spicy finish. Very masculine syrah behaving more like a shiraz. A bit rough at first, opened up to reveal some more subtle characteristics after day 2. A serious ride.

blackberry, moderate tannins. An excellent Syrah for its price. Better than many that I have paid much more for.
