Decanted 2+ hours….seriously funky nose early but mellowed out and turned into very austere yet still strong fruit, mostly plum, not a hint of acidity. Like a middle aged Bordeaux. Love Testarossa

I really love this one. Soft fruit, enticing aroma (rose, cherry), excellent clean finish. Light tannins. I love that the alcohol does not stand out. My favorite new world Syrah ever. Thanks Gary.

A bit too spicy on the palette for me.
