  Opened 30 hours before serving. Slightly musty start, but that disappeared after 30 minutes in glass. Rich black fruit without seeming particularly ripe with smoked sausage character with black pepper and savory spice. Very good balance, good weight that got bigger after an hour in glass. Very good now, but I doubt there is any further upside.

  Deep garnet to violet edge. The nose is ripe boysenberries, blackberries, and black cherry, the palate is deep with "sweet" dark fruits and slightly smoked raw beef. The finish is long and shows perfect medium tannins with ripe fruity edges. This is a beautiful syrah, medium-light but intense, clean and refined while also pleasantly gamy.

  Lots of red fruit, a little shrill nose; great smooth fruit, structured, young; medium-long finish. 91-92.
