Darker profile than the other wines of substance offerings, leading with aromas of graphite, chocolate, black tea, plum, blackberries, and with time, soy and spice. The first sip was big, round, and plump, quite enjoyable. It then needed a couple hours of air to re-emerge, delivering the same package of flavors (plus a hint of game with time) in an elegant and softer mouthfeel. Suave and super polished, ending with a good, long finish.

Several Tastings today! (Minneapolis, MN): As a big fan of K Vintners Syrah efforts I have been less impress with the Super Substance lineup. I have yet to enjoy one of the them. This is another disappointment. Cherry, plum and spice. Non complex and quite boring. Not sure where this is heading.

A medium-bodied, unctuous wine with a medium finish. A delicately balanced, somewhat complex wine that is fruit forward, slightly spicy, with a bit of wood. Copious tannins but not overwhelming by any means. Held up very well the second day, too. Worth holding another year or two.
