P&P through an aerator. Flavors of plum and blackberry fruit, bacon fat, green olive and mineral with a hint of Rocks Funk. Really elegant wine, silky in the mouth. Was a bit scared as the cork had hints of TCA, but the wine was not affected. Drink now - 2038.

Opened this for my September bottle in the 2021 WA Syrah Challenge. Decanted 1 hour. Very elegant and refined, with plum and blackberry fruit, bacon fat, mineral and just the barest hint of Rocks Funk. Really loving the minerality in this wine. You can almost taste the river rocks... Outstanding stuff that will only improve with age. Drink now (ideally w/air) - 2038.

Doran's. Green olive, bacon fat, bay leaf, dark berry fruit. Ethereal in the glass. Very sorry I didn't order this when I had the opportunity.
