  Decanted 2 hrs. Notes of dark fruit, black raspberry, cherry, current with notes of damp earth and herbs. Tannins are still prominent but fairly well integrated and there is some heat in the background but I didn't find it excessive. I expect this wine to improve with further aging, as others have suggested.

  Decanted an hour. Nose of blackberry, black, currant, violet, and minerals. This wine was not as complex or balanced as I expected, it still probably too young. The finish is medium at best, and I did pick up some chocolate, in addition to the fruit on the finish. I recommend holding for another five years before drinking.

  90 minute decant, lovely, medium bodied, complex aroma of pepper, wet gravel, blackberry, black olive. Love these with a good combo pizza.

  All the intense Syrah flavors are there, but unlike most of the variety, the flavors here are light on their feet and dancing, instead of being darker, heavier. Fresh violets, blueberry, pastry crust, charred wood, raw game, beef jerky, vanilla, black pepper, black olive, black licorice. Deep ruby color. Intensity: Pronounced. Body: M+. Alcohol: H. Acid: H. Finish: Long. Tannin: M+ barely, polished, slightly pleasantly stemmy, and well-integrated. Complexity: High. Concentration: High.
