Pepper and Herbs on the nose. Bright red and black fruit on the palate, medium acid. Savory yet bright. Quite fresh. Hoping it opens up over the next day. Good comp for some of the Pax Syrahs.

Dark ruby. Heady aromas of lavender, salted game, wild strawberries, and dark plums. Soft spread of salty plum fruit on the palate, like saladitos, with a base of gritty tannins, firm tannic grip at the back with fringe of acid, long singing finish. Young and untamed with great color and power. 50 + 17 + 17 + 9 = 93.

Tasted alongside the 2014, which I preferred to this 2015. The black pepper is missing from the 2015, with the wine being more juicy, blue fruited and to me, seeming softer.
