  Not quite what I expected from a 2013, being quite a rich wine that would have benefited from more tension. Attractive Syrah fruit, and plenty of it, and some heady, perfumed violet. Slightly smoother and sweeter than I'd hoped for, making for a pleasant wine that wasn't worth the price of admission.

  Dark, inky hue. Aromas of earthy, licorice, pepper, plum, pomegranate, rubber, tar, and tomato leaf. Full-bodied, with full tannins and plus acidity. Smooth, rounded finish.

  This wine has a warm and enticing nose of green cardamom, figs, and raw meat. It has an elegant mouthfeel and doesn’t come across as a blockbuster wine. It tastes classy and right. Drink or hold.

  Medium-bodied, round, soft, open and fresh, the wine offers lifted, crisp red berries, plums, pepper, herbs, smoke, vanilla and floral essences on the nose and palate. The wine is already easy to drink.

  At dinner but will say this, somewhat lackluster. I don't want to be unfair with a poor score or too good a score. Suffice it to say that it was nondescript in that there was nothing memorable. That said, it was like a nice table wine that went well with food but certainly not prime time. It is also possible it is just way too young and given time it may improve.
