Nose

Full, deep red. Musky, raw syrah aromas of pepper, espresso, roasted herbs, and crunchy berries. - International Wine Cellar

Palate

Sweet, rich, creamy and sexy, with a distinctly French texture. Still a bit reduced but already quite expressive, in the style of the vintage. Finishes with very suave tannins and excellent length. With 24 hours in the recorked bottle, this showed captivating aromas of raspberry, smoke, and underbrush and a silkiness of texture that reminded me of a big Burgundy. - International Wine Cellar
