Full body, lively acidity, robust tannins. Long finish. The jammy taste of the Syrah in the blend is easily identifiable, additional notes of dark fruit and smoke.

Dark ruby color, medium body. Very complex on the palate and nose with notes of dark fruit, vanilla and leather. Tannis and acidity in equilibrium altought still a bit strong. Very pleasant at the moment, will probably still evolve on the bottle. Insane quality at the cost.

4 hour decant. Syrah, Touriga Nacional, Alicante Bouschet. 14.5% The 2012 of this is in a great place right now, so I bought a case of these and, rather impatiently, wanted to see where it's at. Deep purple - lovely seductive nose around the Syrah - full in the mouth, but a little un-integrated and rough - shortish finish - but the potential is clearly there, hiding in the background - more time needed, and more bottles needing to be purchased.

4 hour decant.
Settling in nicely now - another year or so to lose the slightly sour and we'll be all set.
