Still lively and could likely need more time. Slightly reduced aromas of game, iron, balsamic herbs. High acid, which always throws me for a loop when tasted blind (this wasn't). Pretty good with Turkey gumbo, mostly save by the smoky, garlic spiked beef/pork sausage.

Loved this wine, so complex and layered. Still a baby though.

Open 72hrs. Nose of an ash tray, smoky burnt tobacco. Palate is fresh, soft, red and lively with nice acid. Tart chalky finish. Nose is just too weird.

Becoming the benchmark. Bigger darker cloudy. Dark cherry. Olive. Very Syrah. Savory aromas and in the mouth. Plenty of structure with very present tannin and lots of acid. Serious for sure.

How elegant can Syrah be? This elegant- not a hair out of place, yet no sign of contrived wine making tricks or concessions to the "market"... Too bad their isn't more available!

It's the blanc... Grainy-florals, lingering, elegant, drinking better than ever, even more vibrant.
