Clear deep purple with medium meniscus and high viscosity. 30 min decant Great nose - both fruit and olive. Raspberry, plum, blackberry and black olive, along with hints of smoked meats and leather. Palate began with plum and fig, with some bramble and spice notes in the middle, and a finish of iron. After an hour, the fruit darkened a bit on the palate (more blackberry), and the spices and finish left a peppery impression. Full bodied - both the acid and tannins are still present. Med+ complexity. Very good drinking!

Decanted 1 hr. Best at 2 hrs. Tannins are softening, smooth, very bold syrah. Nice pairing with Ravioli. Drink now-2022.

Love Brendan’s Syrahs. Lamenting the fact this is my last bottle.
