Oct 6th, 20141hr+ decant. Lovely red and purple color. Complex wine. Dark fruit, brown sugar, vanilla, oak, and tar. Not overpowering but very refined with a phenomenal texture. I really enjoyed this!

Found another straggler and it was delicious...vivid, dark black cherry color.. smoke, goose fat, rich forest floor mushrooms. The 14.99 ABV largely resolved with little heat left. Every time I’m tempted to cut back I open one at 10-12 years... not gonna do it. Glorious new world Syrah!

Oct 5th, 2020Amazing body balances substantial but not excessive fruit. Works very nicely with a friend's New Zealand cheddar.

Oct 22nd, 2016A little more oaky than the Cardiac Hill the other night. Definitely enough of a frame to support it. Drinking really well tonight.
