Estimate
More iron, beef blood, and foresty, mushroom, almost metallic notes...savory, powerful, incredibly impressive wine in this lineup...full-bodied beauty has both black and blue fruits, ripe, building, yet polished tannins, a great mid-palate, and one heck of a gorgeous finish.
Aromas of nutmeg, black cherry, blackberry, smoke and stone. Full-bodied with melting tannins. Very concentrated and layered on the palate. Crushed dark fruit and coffee. Lovely baking-spice complexity. Savory. Balanced, with excellent intensity and depth.
Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firm with flavors of cured meat before shifting toward savory herbs with a mineral tension as waning fruit tones take a backseat. Seemingly a little moody now, the Syrah offers hints of olive and turned earth before ending with a long, spicy, meaty finish.
Plump and potent, with supple blackberry and blueberry flavors that take on smoked meat, licorice and olive accents as this builds structure toward refined tannins.
