Interesting bottle--started out really tannic, decidedly so. Softened and opened up with about 30 minutes of air. Went from almost non-palatable to a decent Syrah for pairing with Passover brisket after a worrisome first sip,,,

Very nice for the first while - highly aromatic, dense fruit, nice garrigue, other spice notes, and a medium+ finish. Tannins really firmed up over a few hours of air, making it difficult to get much of anything after that aside from the tannin. A couple years and/or a long decant are warranted.

The extra time has done this well. It’s got good weight, nice spice, and is well balanced.

Ripe red and purple berry fruit with some pepper and licorice. Nice balance of fruit, acidity, and fine tannins.
