A little bite at the end and lighter than many SB Syrah. This is a winner winner with a chicken dinner or on its own. Solid

Like a baptist preacher Amen-ing a c-sharp into my cerebellum. Aggressive and bold, yet soft silky tannins that dance delicately on my tongue, a Degas stuck in mid pirouette. Drinking alone in the D often has it's advantages... Drink now if you have this rare bird!

It's dark, bold, and smooth, like Billy Dee Williams as Lando. Higher on the alcohol content at 14.6%, it's no malt liquor but like Lando, a bit inconsistent. @Doggfather would say it needs time to open up, and I would agree. Flavor-wise; peppery, with hints of walnuts, leather.
