This showed younger than the last one! WineBid holder must have managed this well. 30 minute decant - checked throughout. V - Clear, deep deep purple with Minimal (!) meniscus and high viscosity. N - Chalk, rubber hints and savory flavors. Seemed young. Would have guessed this was a 17 or 19 by the nose. P - The fruit lurks behind on the nose but parades on the palate. Plum - just ripe enough leads the way with black currant and blackberry providing support. Applauds for Mr. Gorman - this is singing.

Similar to previous note although this seemed less savory and a tad thin. Fruit remains Black Rasp, Black currant and blackberry with green herbs, anise, baking spice and coffee. Palate better than nose. Med+ length.

2019 Kevin White Winery Syrah En Hommage

Subtle, low aroma for WA syrah.
Black bruits.
Not oaky but a tad green - not quite bramble.
Still a bit tannic - perhaps give this more time.
