Very tight and muted aromatically, but opened up by the second day with expected dark fruits, smoked notes and touch of spice.

Nose reminds me of sweet tarts. Odd on the palate, sweet tarts there too, with stems, smoke, soap, what?
Damn, now I have to open another bottle to accompany the Caps game, ha!
With some air, more like glue...VA. Drinkable, but VA.

This bottle seems to have VA issues...very nailpolish-y nose, and the palate is blah and flat. So I'm calling this a flawed bottle, as it doesn't resemble the other tasting notes I've seen here! Didn't meant to rate this but can't figure out how to get rid of it!
Next day follow up: much better with some air. Now I get meaty syrah notes, though there's still a hint of polish to me.

This is funny that my first post here is the kimberlys syrah. This is my first try of the 2012 kimberlys in the bottle and I am LOVING it! It is Valentine's day so I am swooning. Ripe fruit with a tart acid back bone that holds up beautiful structure for the ripe bing cherry, viognier mouthfeel. I am happy.

A tad riper than expected and serious tannins. Call me in five years.
