  Well-balanced GSM. The Syrah really shines. Nice tannins. I detected a hint of bacon in my first sniff

  Drink now with a 1-2 hour decant and blue fruit enters the picture.

  Opened and let breathe in the bottle for about 1 1/2 hours. Big, bold full bodied wine with black fruit and jammy notes. This wine paired well with a smoked prime rib. I am not usually a fan of GSM wines but this was well done and enjoyed by everyone at the dinner.

  Drank alongside a 2013 that showed better after both had a long decant. Nose is a bit hesitant so mostly just an astringent alcohol note at this stage, particularly compared to the 13. Vigorous swirling brings out roasted meat notes with baked plum sauce but the heat is still there. Hard to believe the 14 is at 16.5% and the 13 is st 17%; would have thought the other way round at least. Still was good with food but alone it's too much.
