My wife commented that this had too much color and heft, given its age.
Deep, vibrant purple. Intense plummy fruit bouyed w warm toasted aromas that conjure vanilla, cumin, toasted oak. Dense, fleshy, long, with resolved tannins that still offer plenty of structure and elegant acidity. Among the best domestic, 'natural' wines I've had.

This is pretty good. Lots of acidity and complexity but finishing a touch syrupy sweet.

I enjoyed this, and would be curious to hear thoughts from others with more experience of OR Syrah on what's going on there. I get more blue than red fruits, some meat, acidity, and medium plus tannins that could use a little time to integrate, but are pleasant now. There's a hint of savory olive/herb that I can't quite identify that may be perfect with the right food.

Crunchy, firm, energetic. Focused and pure. Red and blue fruits. Ripe tannic spine, spice, acid. Delicious
