Kingston Family Vineyards
Bayo Oscuro Syrah
Casablanca Valley, Aconcagua, Chile
Poor thing! Opened way too early, and didn't get a chance to shine due to the avalanche of wines preceding it. Tried to decant for hours. Still didn't achieve the proper result! BIG BIG wine with amazing depth. Ponderous and brooding, like a subterranean Leviathon, yet all it's parts are there. Dark smoky terroir spilling off it's iridescent fruit scales, Syrah muscles rippling, buoyant acidity, complexity shimmering like inlaid gemstones, each facet a new expression. Lip smacking, lingering, with smooth, but huge tannins! Pure, skilled winemaking in harmony with Mother Nature! Gonna save the next one for a long while, and enjoy it as the ONLY wine of the night! Spectacular!
