From 375. Didnt want to risk another Barolo. It is incredible how rounded this one is for a 2014. But perhaps the 375ml bottle helped that. Great chalky and youthful blackberry, boysenberry. Even in 375, this has a lot of aging to do but I can see the bones and structure are here for a really good wine. Limestone gritty finish with tannin. Pepper present, but in check. Nice wine and will develop over the next decade or 2. — 6 years ago

I'm sold on Location's wine. This blend isn't super dry (my preference) but it's not sweet either (no thanks). Will be buying more from them. — 8 years ago

Of the 2 Bordeaux drinking the best tonight, but long term the Brane-Cantenac 2005 will outlive this wine by 10 years easy. While very complex, a fine touch a green is traceable.

A classic currant and forest floor nose, fall leaves abound with a spike of spice and a barely there green that while subtle is apparent.

The pleasure here is higher for its more mature tasted and feel, while the brawny 2005 is a better wine it was not as enjoyable to me and feel it will be another notch enter in 3 years, and likely 2 notches better in 5.

The elegance and feel on this wine is ready to go and will easily go another 5+ years. — 8 years ago

The dryness, tannins & acidity of this wine paired well with braised short ribs. The ribs were accompanied by polenta & salad with Meyer Lemon vinaigrette. Very important pairing note - balancing acidity to cut richness but still give a pleasant mouth - feel. 2006 vintage - Floral notes weren't dominant for us. — 8 years ago

I've been looking for this level of perfectly balanced olive, bacon fat, ribeye blood, and field-berry fruit Syrah for over 2 years. I'd kiss the lady who brought this on the lips... if my wife wasn't here.😘 — 8 years ago

Cab franc shines through. Heavy licorice and black olives with some cherry up front. Great with any pasta red sauce. — 6 years ago

Cinnamon attack, fine grained tannin. Lucious oak is robust at first and lingers. Juniper berry, thyme, Asian pear appears after 90 mins. After 2 hours in the decanter bright cherry gives way to goji berry, mid palate while showing good weight. Oak tannin finding its place while oak flavor continues to linger at lower intensity. Not bad for such a soft vintage at 7 years! — 7 years ago

After 2 hour decant still kind of smelled like a bag of balloons. Put it back in the bottle and on day 2 it's singing. Woodsy black cherry, black tea, baking spices and some of that classic tar thing. — 8 years ago

Given the price this wasn't bad. Not terribly well integrated, but still seems like it could age a bit. Will see how it is on day 2. — 8 years ago

Nez alcooleux à l'ouverture, mais beau fruits par la suite. Le côté poivré de la Syrah est plus présent le 2ème jour — 9 years ago
