Taste tested the 2015 & 2016 on the same night & wow what a difference between the both.
The 2016 provided aromas of dark red fruits & on the palate this wine was silky smooth with very little acidity or tannins with an incredible finish.
The 2015 provided more aromas of wet cement & plum fruit notes & on the palate this wine was a little more acidity not overly complex with an ok finish.
So on the nose the 2015 was the definite winner however on the palate the 2016 was the definite winner with its extremely smooth & silky finish. Quite interesting both wine were distinctly different with the 2016 outshining the 2015.

👁️ More medium red tint then the purple that you expect from syrah, 👃 Leather, boysenberry, blackberry, chocolate , spice or rather a tint pepper 👅 Blackberries continue coupled with pepper and some herbaceous notes. Alcohol brings the heat. Slight meatiness. Med+ acidic and med+ body. Medium length
Point verdict would be 91 on this decent wine. Well worth a try!

Terroir nel bicchiere. Al naso note di oliva nera, con ricordi minerali poi un bel frutto rosso non troppo maturo che ricorda la ciliegia e il ribes. In bocca un incredibile sapidità con un tannino ancora bello tosto e graffiante. Persistenza infinita.

A good CH at its peak.
Leathery, tobacco underlain by dry mulberry.
