Decanting really does work! This Syrah was fine right out of the bottle, with nice fruit, but also somewhat tannic and heavy. An hour in the decanter lightened it up beautifully, into a pleasurable balance of rich dark fruits, savory tannins, food friendly acids and earthy minerals, perfect with my leftover braised beef cheeks and mashed potato. Had the 2017 vintage.

Wonderful Syrah from Santa Ynez. Enjoyed with a pork dish and it held up beautifully.

ピノではないくらい濃い色でアルコールが少しきつく感じる
2日目の方が甘めに感じるかな
