Incredible power, depth, tension, length, and balance. True Syrah which is texturally so interesting. A very exciting wine that will only get better.

Very tasty served too warm restaurant pet peeve. Reminds me why I once got so excited about cool climate Syrah - it has many of the pretty spicy savory things I love if a little softer and less cut than I'd like. Grateful I didn't spend the $175 delectable lists. Pretty tasty, but still short of killer for me. Maybe tomorrow it'll open up more.

Felt lucky to find this youthful and robust bottle. Extremely tight and backwards but revealing of what grace lies ahead. Some castelvetrano olives, Comte and rustic baguette helped tease out the beauty from this beast.

Super Syrah aromas. Floral, juicy, dense, meaty, refined tannins, a bit tight as was bottled last week. But velvety and oh so much potential.

Super-duper flowers, smoke, white pepper, no heat. Very attractive.
