Estimate
...huge nose of blueberries, black cherries, crushed rocks, graphite, and black pepper. Deep, brooding, and backward, with both good acidity and tannins...
This has a very fragrant edge to the dark berries with plenty of pepper, abundant spice and deep, stony elements, all working well. The palate has a very succulent feel with a strong core of dark-fruit flavor. Very composed, concentrated and assertive.
Beginning with notes of coffee and black pepper...aromas of seductive black cherry, blackberry and baked clay. On the palate, the wine has a lush richness about it, with black pepper, cherry skin and a dusty minerality. Full-bodied on the palate, the focus is still slightly rigid, revealing a classically structured and spicy Syrah. The wine ends with balance and finesse on the long and thought-provoking finish.
Dark berry, black olive and black pepper aromas are lifted by alluring violet and game notes. A very rich, dense Syrah with terrific concentration but a light touch to its purple berry, sage leaf, olive tapenade and salty mineral flavors; a strong whole-cluster peppery element contributes to the impression of intensity and energy yet the wine retains a fine-grained texture....
...aromas of smoked meat, blueberry, coffee, dried herbs and aniseed lead to quite restrained fruit and savory flavors. The overall balance and length is striking. A lot of tannic structure backs it up.
Elegant and precise, with refined raspberry and garrigue flavors that take on tension toward polished tannins.
