Velvety, integrated, floral with all the purple flowers, definitely mineral. Simply delicious.

Initially good but a bit then on the palate. Initially acidic with a short finish. Opens with air and has briars and brambles and nice fruit elements.

2001 - I had it with dinner. Reminded me of cndp in many ways. Delicious but unremarkable in the ways I was hoping.

I will be honest I expected great Syrah fruit hidden under a lumber yard but this was not the case. The black and red fruit does a waltz with the oak in perfect step.
