This was EPIC. I drink a lot of Syrah, best in the world, and when you gat a Cabot that is on it twinges pretty much all of the feelings of some of the best.
This is labeled at 14.4% but drinks so fresh. Blackberry and funk on the nose. Black pepper. Olive. These are always so reminiscent of a Cornas flavor profile, but is is weightier and fruitier. Strong black fruit elements. Mmm, this is so tasty, fully resolved, a nice streak of acidity, just such a lovely expression of Syrah.
Absolutely fantastic. Humboldt County Syrah at 17 years?!?
PnP. The savory aspects of this wine take center stage with a meaty goodness. Fruit in the form of blackberry rounds it out. Still a tannic bite on the finish which mellows with time.

Last bottle is the best?

Smokier than my previous bottles though not obtrusive, underneath that notes as before. The structural elements are completely integrated; drink now.

Dark, deep and interesting. Mature, very smooth and even. Medium/heavy weight, the fruit is mostly integrated. Drinking very well.
