  Still young, but consistent with the clean Corliss style. Very enjoyable and a long life ahead.

  Popped and Vinturied; followed over three evenings. I tested positive for COVID-19 and I have symptoms, so I wanted to see if my senses were affected. Maybe a little. Still, this was a delicious bottle of a well-crafted Syrah. I got no particular hits of black olive or orange peel, as can sometimes be characteristic of the grape, but I didn't experience these in the previous bottle either: the palette is subtle, the body medium-full, the Syrah expression pure and lean, if not especially rich. Recommended; drink or hold.
  Paired initially with lamb stew, then leftover Chicken Marbella on the second evening, and carrot-ginger purée and corn muffins on the third.

  This is a nice syrah that captures a purity of fruit and an abundance of softer balanced tannin. I have only tasted from the coravin and am looking forward to having this open for opening.

  This was SO easy to drink; I could have easily gone through the entire bottle myself. Seamlessly smooth: not showing a great deal of complexity at this stage, but what's there now is flat-out delicious.
