Deep mix of ruby and purplish red. Very complex layers on the nose, starting off dark and savory with black olives and a touch of smoked meat. With some air the nose added some purple floral notes. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Savory attack on the palate with dark gravel, a bit smoky, and a touch of olive tapenade. Great structure and mouthfeel that lingers. A touch of dark red fruits with black raspberries and cherries near the finish. Long and dry finish. Drink till 2024.

Brooding dark fruits, tight tannins, blood, and gravel. Damn! 18 months in new French oak and it is in hiding.

Immediately impressed by the aromatics and color...initially would conclude a younger wine...on palate a more mature, integrated experience

Big full flavored syrah. Alcohol really stands out to me. This would probably be a crowd pleaser.
