The nose gives off a telltale funk, belying the Syrah, especially after a few days open. The fruit is dark and moody and there are notes of spice and a sweet smell, like burnt caramel, on the nose. The sip is powerful, belligerent fruit and brawny tannins, so don’t be shy. Cook a big, dirty steak and throw it on a plate next to a glass of this.

Oct 15th, 2017Very fragrant nose with nice black pepper and currents. Smooth taste, low acid, lots of fruit. Tasted against little black dress merlot and it was almost as good. Great wine.
