Consumed over several hours and this was all about “a point in time”. The rotation of red and green flavors reminded me of a roulette wheel. Olives and red fruits played a game of hide and seek, occasionally teaming up with tobacco and darker fruits. Intense yet so seductive. Would have liked a longer finish. A wine that I can see being very polarizing due to the assertiveness of its many components..

Young. Duh!! But it is all there. No formal notes. Stunning fruit. Needs 20+.

What?!!! I thought I was just trying this wine so young because it would probably be my only chance, but this tastes great right now!!! The nose screams classic Juge Syrah, very savage with all of the campfire! This is not at all shut down, but it will obviously age for a long time.

This needs 5 more years. It's all angles today. Very very promising but hide this.
