Popped and poured. Notes from 5 days open (mostly refrigerated in between, but also on the counter). Lovely syrah. On the nose: blackberry, loads of olive and bacon fat, cracked pepper. On the palate: excellent acidity, blackberry, solid density, cracked pepper. Nice weight and soft slightly grainy tannin on the spicy finish. This has ages ahead if this btl is representative.

First bottle of this, I did not care for. I think it was in a dumb phase. drank the next bottle over 3 night. It was very good. No real tasting notes, I would buy and drink again for sure...

Produced by Bergstrom. Seemed big & heavy at first, but on day 3 this really came together. Boysenberry, violets, freshly cracked black pepper, a little cured meat, coffee/cocoa and stoniness. I would give this plenty of time in the cellar or a long decant.

Color hue clarity: purple, dark, opaque, deep
Aroma bouquet: dirt, mushrooms, perfume
Taste texture finish balance: quick finish, medium body, sour, pepper, juicy, slight tannins
Overall: 3.5/5. Not a lot of depth, better as it breathes, good with cheese. 13.2% alcohol is a plus.

Pretty thick and rich, more of a sipping wine than wine with food. Rich and spicy however with nice syrah and grenache character.
