Medium to dark purple with minimal garnet. Medium fruit and cedar notes. Palate is good dark cherry and cedar with a hint of green. Big acid and fine tannins with a long finish. Opened 3 hours prior which seems close.

Blueberry, redcurrant, raspberry jam and some ground pepper on the nose. The medium-bodied palate continues with the same ingredients, adding sweetish fruit and decent acidity. Fine-grained tannins and a long finish, tapering towards the fruit and spices. This is a successful marriage of attractive sweet fruit and solid structure, coupled with some spiciness. Drink now if you want still to catch the last rays of the sweet primary fruit, or hold if you want the more serious side to emerge. Also, an excellent burger wine.

Cassis nose. Still very fruit driven. Some acid but little tannin. It has a nice softness to it. This has held up well but time to drink up.

Bright fruit, taste cherry. Not as full bodied as I expect from a syrah.
