  Very young - better on night 2 (still good on night 1 though). Dark red, nearly black color. On nose, black olives, pepper, blackberry and iron - clearly Syrah. On palate, similar flavor profile to nose with medium+ body, medium tannins / acidity and nice long finish. 91-92+ Would rate higher with 5+ years in bottle.

  Surprisingly good first night. Drinkable and doesn’t really show the vintage like the 2018 SJ VV
  
  Bravo!

  Reticent nose offering black cherry and mulberry aromas along with black pepper and herbal undercurrents. Rich and structured with velvety tannins and an elegant mouth-feel.

  Decanted and consumed over 2 hours. Not as fresh/impressive as last time. That aside, consistent experience with the cork - cheap and easily falls breaks apart.
  
  This bottle was purchased from K&L, whereas the last bottle was purchased wholesale. I know K&L's warehouse is not temperature controlled. Can't help but wonder if that explains this bottle's performance; it wouldn't be the first time I've had a problem with K&L.

  Cork appeared cheap and defective. Decanted. Vibrant and translucent crimson. This showed quite a bit of structure the first 30 minutes and then pulled back to reveal a beautiful and approachable wine. Light aromas of red, blue, and purple fruits. Same fruit profile of moderate strength flavors plus a touch of savory meats followed by moderately dusty tannins on a long finish. Moderate+ complexity. Enjoyable now. But, lots of energy in this wine. 92-95.
