Deer Valley Palooza in 3 stages with Mark1npt and Agelvis; 6/25/2023-7/1/2023 (8,100 ft): This was a stunning surprise and my wine of the night. A 9 hour decant. Deep and rich in color, aroma and texture. Floral violet and dark fruit nose. Many things on the palate but mostly delicious layers of fruit —raspberries, blackberries and licorice. So well structured and built for the long haul.
Pretty much covered by Crunge below. Opened by our host the DQ, who decanted this bottle for 9 hours. Very floral nose, dark berry fruit, very-very smooth given all the airtime it had. A very enjoyable Syrah for me because it was not overly heavy or gamey. Just the right amount of every component for me! Thanks for opening, DQ!

Dark, inky. Pepper, mocha, rose on nose. Complex boysenberry jam, fig, kalamata. Long finish. Enjoy.
