Purple plum red.
Aromas of beets, tomato leaf, blue and black fruits, stewed.

After an hour of decanting, develops that cocoa nib character that is pleasant and adds a richness along with more pronounced red fruits. The tobacco and earthiness calms and the fruit character develops — 17 days ago
Full mouthfeel with acidity, minerality, and tropical fruit notes exquisitely balanced. Or peach and honeyed citrus per label. Still lovely. — 19 days ago

Dark inky in color, with a beautiful pronounced nose.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Very fruity on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red and black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, cola, coffee and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This delicious Syrah from Napa Valley is still very young, and needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly, but already drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Rich, extracted and fruit forward. Showing good balance and elegance.
I've had a few vintages of this wine before, and it is very consistent. A great sipping wine.
A blend of 90% Syrah with 10% Petite Sirah. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 20 months.
15.8% alcohol by volume.

Despite a nine year difference the color of the wines were very similar. There were no doubt that the wines were siblings, the DNA was very clear. On the nose, they were twins with the younger sibling demonstrating more intensity, but the exact same scents. It was on the palate where differences showed up. The fruit had a slightly darker profile along with cassis, cigar box and cedar. Slightly more tannins that did not impede a long finish which did not show any hint of alcohol. Very supportive acidity. There is no rush to drink. — a month ago

Still got a lot of life, so surprising! Still got some acidity, fruit and energy with a long, lean finish. Tannin is fully integrated, softened to the max, but still beautiful, dark, and deep with a gorgeous elegant mouthfeel for 40 years old. Surprising and special. — 9 days ago
