Licorice and asian spice, baking chocolate, Kosher salami on a Weber grill. Silky smooth and so very long. Outstanding for a meh vintage.

Vegetal and tangy purple fruit. Sour cherry, bramble blackcurrant, salinity iron and some stink. Very feral and lively. Good stuff.

More fruit forward the other mid 90s bottles I have had of this wine - lacked the classic pepper of Syrah and had a strong bacon fat nose that took me further north...would’ve been interesting to enjoy the bottle over a longer period of time
