A Syrah all it's own. Not Super Tuscan but I guess it can qualify as such, but also made more like the Northern Rhone ala Saint-Joseph or Cornas than oaky riper Super Tuscan. Fresh, higher toned red fruits, spices, a touch of savory and meat in the background. Med to med¥ bodied and acidity that is well integrated. Med+ palate intensity and finish.

A med+ ruby red core, with lighter ruby edges. The nose show dark cherry, dark plum and blackcurrants, violet florals with the classic Syrah notes of intense olive tapenade and white pepper. The palate is med/med+ bodied with youthful, med/med+ tannins, and a wonderful palate with good persistence and freshness, a lot of flavor without the weight. The finish is long, fresh and subtly spicy and primary. Lots of life left here, drink now with at least a 1 hour decant (more if you have time) or hold, will go 10-15 years easy in the cellar.
