Soft and fragrant. Cedar, wet gravel, soft plummy fruit. So nice with lamb shanks!

I got in on this one towards the finish. Served blind. My guess was northern Rhone Syrah as it seemed to have a hotter type of character to it with a little bit of savory notes on the nose and entry. The middle of this Wayne developed a hint of herbaceous nest, tobacco, hint of mushroom and starting to get a little bit of that brett influence. Finished with more of a medium-bodied character. Not really a whole lot of sweet fruit going on here.... This one was a little bit dark and dank. I do not believe this wine is going to get any better in the bottle although it's good cellaring there's probably five to seven more years left.
