Really tannic (the hard stemmy type), dark, olive, lavender, rather dense. Either needs more time in bottle or less stems in the cuve

A juicy nicely acidic restrained Syrah. They only make these in the Northern Rhone where they can keep Brix under control. And $29 for Chave Wow!

Really young but a little time in a decanter did it justice

This is finally opening up. Still brooding and tannic, but a nice streak of acid is emerging to balance all of the dark berry, olive and chocolate.
