Decanted off its sediment and served with a simple supper- Morgan Ranch wagyu kebabs hot off the grill and a green salad. Pours a healthy crimson color with no bricking or visible sign of age. Aromas of mixed red and black fruit with pepper and spice aromas. Adds a floral top notes as we neared the last pours from the decanter. Notes of sweet blue fruit emerge as well. Medium-bodied with resolved tannin; impeccable balance. Flavors of red, black and blue fruits mingle on the palate, with pepper, spice, cherry and pomegranate. Medium+ finish. This is an elegant wine at this stage, and I am very happy to have two more in the cellar to enjoy in the near term. 93 for me, 91+ for Domino.

Decanted off its sediment and served. Notes of dark syrah fruit, pepper and game meats. Flavors of licorice, black fruit and pepper. Medium-bodied with soft tannins and a lingering finish. In a great spot right now. 93 for me, 91 for Domino.

Decanted off its sediment, of which there was just a little. Deep crimson color with notes of red plum, dark berry, white pepper and spice and perhaps even a bit of cassis on the back end. There's a subtle floral undertone too which I enjoy very much. Medium-bodied with softened tannins and flavors of dark fruit, warm spices and perhaps even lavender. Balanced, with a lengthy finish. I can't wait for the lamb chops to arrive as this is going to pair beautifully.

My last bottle. Drinking quite well now with notes of grilled meat, raspberries, black cherries and earth/herbs. Integrated medium acid/tannins. A nice syrah with good balance.

Last bottle and i am sad to run out. This is at its prime, drinking beautifully in perfect balance. Blueberry, blackberry fruits, a little touch of smoky bacon fat, perfect acidity and so smooth.
