  4th Saturday Group (R&D's): Double blind. Aromas of bacon, pepper and cured meats. Flavors of black fruit and bacon. Guessed syrah. (J&L)

  -C’est quelle année? 2016
  -Potentiel de garde? Encore plusieurs années. 10 ans facile.

  -Couleur? Quasi mauve, foncé comme de l’encre. Très opaque.
  -Ça sent quoi? Un nez lourd, complexe, animal. On est loin des petits vins légers. D’entrée, je suis dans le cassis et les mûres confiturées. Il y a du cuir, des cerises noires et... des prunes.
  -Ça goûte quoi? Intense serait l’adjectif de prédilection. C’est Tellement complexe. La prochaine bouteille ne se boira pas avant plusieurs années. Ça goûte les prunes, le cuir, le café, le chocolat noir. MIAM.
  -Apprend moi quelque chose de spécial sur ce vin? Eh bien, l’étiquette du vin a été peinte par un éléphant! C’est pas une blague!

  The wine looks inky colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like stoniness, plum and coffee. It tastes like coffee, oak, lead pencil and black pepper. The body is full. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. Changed in the glass from a monster to a soft giant. way to young needed to try 1 have 11 more that will be put away

  Had this with Oxtails. OMG is all I can say. It was a perfect pairing.
  
  This is an excellent Syrah. Dark Cherries and Plums smell with tobacco. Smooth tastes of fruit, but strong black pepper flavors.
  
  Would be fine to drink alone, but even better when complimenting Oxtails. A sloid 92 points.

  Excellent Syrah. Dark berry, smoke, some oak but not overwhelming.
