This is pretty extraordinary. Dark, earthy, perfumed fruit. Blackberries, cocoa. Just a touch of meat and smoke. Completely seamless, incisive flavors. But still somehow light and transparent.

This wine is singing right now!!! Perfectly balanced, beautiful red and purple fruits, silky texture and all facets integrated seemlessly.

This is a tight and tannic beast at age 5.
I could be wrong but I detect a hint of Brett which I think can be complimentary (in small doses).
However with such a structured varietal as PS which normally reward extended cellaring, I think this wine may not be a candidate for another 30+ years in the cellar?
Please prove me wrong if I'm still around by 2047....

Planted in 1953 by Otty Hayne while he was home from college, along with his father. The vines are all head-trained, dry-farmed and organic. Turley has made their Hayne Vineyard Petite Syrah since 1993. Opening this was borderline infanticide, but it was my first Turley Petite Syrah. A massive beast, but the black and blue fruit is high-toned, and accompanied by an almost Mad Max inspired collection of secondary notes, including iron, graphite, scorched earth, and burning wood that are only reinforced by the strength of the tannin. However, lavender pastille is cleverly woven throughout and should move to the front of the stage over time, avoiding complete dystopia.
