An exquisite Syrah with balance and ripened dark fruit. — 2 months ago
Happy 50th birthday! I always ask what were you doing when you drink a wine this old.
I am told by my Somm buddy who brought this bottle, this is To Kalon fruit even though it is not listed on the label. Excellent fill line. 12% ABV. 👏👏👏
Color is brickish on the edges but the color inside is still beautiful & solid.
This is a wine not to decant or a short one and pour it out w/ 6 people. It does get better in the glass.
The fruit is old but still ripe; blackberries, black raspberries, baked strawberries, stewed plum/cranberries, baked rhubarb, almost watermelon notes, mid berry cola, steeped tea, dry crushed rocks, dry twig, dry tobacco, sandalwood to some cedar, light dark spice notes, dry herbaceous notes, pine bar, some tarriness, anise, dark forest, dry leaves, some v/a-bandaid, dry river stone, decade red, dark, florals, excellent acidity, great evolution, balance, still has tension, with elegance & smart polish that lasts a minute.

Crushed raspberries, unripe strawberry, persimmon. A bit more fruit and less austere than previous two years. Good. — a day ago
