Super dark ruby red. Savory characteristics, especially black pepper with a good amount of black fruits. Very complex and well balanced with savory and fruit notes. Heavy tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Mix of white and black pepper, dark berries, gamey and floral notes. Definitely has tons of potential. Long finish. Made of 100% Syrah and aged for 16 months in 80% new French oak barrels. Drink till 2026.

Inky purple dark and thick. This is big from the poor to the swallow. Stone blue fruits jump out with the heavy alcohol. Silky tannins scrape front half of your tongue, opening to currant chocolate leather. Cola back. Would have benefited from a few years in cellar. But certainly delicious now.

Jan 2nd, 2017Black olive on then nose when opened then softened to blue fruits, black berries, and tobacco. The acidity rounds it out nicely. Drinking well now but will improve over the next year or two.
