I saw that the drink window on this bottle was past optimal, so I thought I would open it when having some pasta with Italian sausage and broccoli rabe.
It may not have been optimal, but I couldn't deny this wine was delicious! N: smoky cured meat, brined olives, rosemary P: black cherry, stewed plums, black pepper F: lingered on the palate for a little bit, but not long enough.
Still going strong, probably could keep for another two years.

Strong mint leaf note that masks some of the more typical Syrah notes you’d expect here - not a bad thing though. It’s a very interesting syrah just not necessarily typical in style. Well made.

Spicy and tense with plentiful fine tannins.
