Love the balance here. Juice, acid, tannin, alcohol, all coming together nicely in a neat package. Shy at first, it really opened up on the second day, certainly some elevated CO2 that needed to blow off. Love the and pure red cherry and raspberry fruit, ripe, shows the sun profile of the vintage. Beneath the pepper, menthol, and stone fruit run about, followed by the meatiness. Has impact from the clay soils with its juicy mid-palate.

Needs time and primal for now, bacon fat, crushed dark fruit, lots of acid.

Frozen blueberry and leaf nose w ultra juicy frozen blueberry mouth, super juicy palate, serious but non-patriarchal tannin, long fresh finish. Very young fresh light wine.

Really good stuff. Maybe less loud and bright than the Souhaut St Epine with more structure/substance. Really soft tannin profile. Seems a bit more serious of a Syrah. It was hard to choose which I preferred.
