The nose could be more aromatic. The palate is smooth. Medium bodied. Well made. Beef bouillon, wet smoke, fresh Green fig. It’s a savory wine that’s easy to drink.

Impressive stuff here: inky & opaque showing no signs of age - strutting all kinds of rich ripe black & red fruits along w/milk chocolate, tobacco & whiff of sweet sweet spice. (Reminded me of a really good Petite Sirah on nose & palate) Decadent nose and very suave and smooth on palate with fine grained tannins. Lacking in acidity & shortish finish sort of let this down on the back end.

Great wine for its price. Very well balanced. I had it with lamb wellington and that was a great pairing. Pepper, jammy, plums with liqorice in the nose

Syrah is dominated,a bit to much spicy but after decanter became pretty good.

Dense and strong. Develops an amazing coffee caramel nose when left in the decanter for a while
