  Double blind tasting
  Dark purple
  Aromatics medium +. Sweet blue fruit, metal and later some smoked meat. No new oak.
  Palate has a medium body. Acid medium +. Tannins medium +, medium grained on the teeth and tongue. Alcohol medium +. Blackberry, blueberry. Electric feel in the mouth. All fruit and acid
  Finish has a medium + length. Balance towards the acid
  Dry glass notes of blueberry compote
  I guessed a new world California Syrah, 2019.
  I would hold, to allow more secondary notes

  Dark purple almost opaque color
  Medium plus aromas of ripe blue/ black fruit with slight smoked meat and pepper along with green stemmy notes - no noted oak influence
  Medium bodied with palate of sweet ripe blueberry and plum - hint of Brett at end of palate but never really noted on the nose
  Medium plus tannins on tongue, typical of Syrah - medium plus alcohol and medium plus acidity
  Medium length led by fruit and tannins
  I initially really liked this wine when poured for a blind tasting - small bit of Brett on the palate but not too much
  When I poured more with dinner that evening the Brett was much more noticeable on the nose and the next day this wine was simply undrinkable - wine is amazing like that, Ive never witnessed the Brett blossom before
