Soaring beautiful nose and more restrained on the palate. Excellent wine.

Dense, almost impenetrable wine. On the nose; anise, black cherries, some undergrowth. In the mouth; dark fruit, sweet oak and bloody minerals. Not sure if it needs more time, or if the fruit will completely fall out before it has developed secondary characteristics.

Super intense black rasp bomb. Huge. Incredibly complex. Have this with shortribs or a beef burgandy. Light pepper. Not anywhere close to past time. Eaxy 5 more yrs if ya wanted. As good as big syrahs get.
