Initially, a bit of mint and graphite in the nose, and a bit blowsy and soft on the palate with a firm acidic finish (is that the hallmark of acidulation?) A bit meaty, with decent fruit, it never really came together for me, but was still a decent Thursday wine.

Very nice color,reddish-purple, looks richer than it tastes. Nose is a bit hot with not much else going on. Tastes rich, cheeries, cranberries, but a bit one dimensional. Easy drinking wine but not an overly complex syrah.

Enjoyed this wine a lot. Not a lot of complexity, but a great, jammy, toasty syrah that disappeared fast.

Dusty and a bit tight. Will decant next bottle and wait awhile before drinking again.
