A strong effort, showing varietal/appellation character of black fruit, black pepper, and a bit of game and smoke. Supposedly an early-drinking wine but this is sturdy and persistent.

Crazy tight. Needs at least an hour of decanting. Spicy and showing firm acidic backbone.

Bright red fruits, raspberry and strawberry. Perfect acidity, a little less body than expected for 100% syrah. Some notes of tea leaves. Love it.
