Estimate
A decidedly powerful, virile wine... races from the glass with intense blue and black-toned fruit, melted road tar, game, incense and smoke. Savory varietal notes lie in the background in a Syrah that emphasizes structure....
A beautiful wine, it boasts good underlying acidity, meaty, black olive/tapenade notes, and a Hermitage or high-end Crozes-Hermitage-like character. Full-bodied & dense with good tannic structure as well as impressive purity & complexity...
