Decanated an hour. Consumed over three days. Noticeably savory. Olive. Herb. Roasted fatty lamb. Metal playground structure on a hot day. Warm gravel. But also deep fruit lurking beneath. Milk chocolate. Better on Days 2 and 3 for me. Didn't last beyond that. Dang good now with patient decant. But not rushing opening any more.

From 375 - popped and poured at cellar temp. Deep brooding black color. Lovely peppery meaty nose with a granite mineral note behind it. Still quite young and tannic on the palate, with some lovely peppery black fruit and bright acidity. Still very young, even in this format. Going to be terrific with some more age.

Dark berry fruits on the nose with hints of black pepper forest floor. More of same on palate. Not the tannin of acidity I would like on a syrah this young. Finish is a tad shallow.

Extraordinarily florals. Lavender, rose, potpourri. Blackberry, plum, mineral saltiness. Stunning.
