  In der Nase viel Blaubeere, etwas schwarze Kirsche, etwas Pflaume. Dazu Tomatensugo, etwas BBQ, ein paar dunkle Kräuter. Etwas Rauch, deutlich dunkle Blüten.
  
  Am Gaumen hat das extrem poliertes Tannin, guten Säurezug, guten Fruchtbiss. Auch hier recht fleischig, allerdings wirkt der Wein mindestens leicht verblüht und etwas matt.
  
  Im Abgang auch eher etwas zahm und sehr verhalten.
  
  Hätte man wahrscheinlich am besten vor zwei Jahren getrunken. Ich werde zeitnah einmal eine Flasche 2019 öffnen.
  
  (Hatte wohl mal Potential für 90+)

  Everything you could want in a Syrah for less than $50.

  While youthful now, the wine is still very approachable. Distinct and precise notes of plum, cherry, lavender, orange zest, leather, bacon, and smoke. On the palate, the wine fills the mouth; the tannins remain a touch angular, but are beginning to integrate. The finish is long with bacon and mocha. This is just all around a good, solid tipple. Double decanted with air-time in the first decanting for about 45 minutes before returning the wine to the bottle. With some sediment. 13.5% alc. With country ham, assorted blue and truffled cheeses. 01.13.23. Recommended.

  Deep, dark, brooding. Not a fruit bomb. Many savory, stemmy notes.
  
  Decanted all day long prior to dinner, and it needed it!
  
  One left, and I'm not touching it for 5 years, at least.
  
  Drank in conjunction with a WA syrah. It was fun to compare and contrast.

  Had another bottle a couple years later with a consistent opinion. Really a nice Northern Rhône Syrah Long life ahead with probable improvement
