Black and blueberry jam, herbs, chocolate, JAMMY, a hint of oak and spice, a little sweet for me but Mari loves it.

Tons of sediment, so give this a decant. It was open right away and very tasty, but better on day 3. Inky with lots of dark blue fruit. Some seasoned oak on the nose. Still good tannic structure, but not grippy in any way. The acidity is still there, but toned down. Dark blue fruit transfers to the palate. Wish I had more.

Good dark fruit. Smooth. Well balanced. Peak age. Medium-length finish. Very enjoyable bottle with and without food.

Yummy full bodied Syrah with loads of dark fruit- blackberry plum cassis- a touch of spice and oak. Fruity and rich but not sweet.

On the nose you get a powerful kick of raspberry, cherries and plum. The first sip is soft silky and rich and finishes w spices and minerals. Really liked it
