At a perfect age for drinking now.....integrated, smooth & sweet tannins and a lovely finish. Peppery flavors moved to background, and juice is at peak.

Believe this will improve over the next 3-4 years. Not a big in-your-face peppery syrah, but well-crafted, medium-dark in color and light on the palate. Enjoyable flavors of black fruit and light spice, no palate of oaky vanilla, and not alcoholic on the palate or on the finish. Good balance, almost Hermitage-like in composition. In a year or two, should be spectacular.

Little tight upon opening. Leather with dark fruit. After 2 hours the tannins are softening. Wine can lay for another year or two.
