Agharta Wines
Black Label Syrah Blend
North Coast, California, USA
If you’ve followed me at all, i love @Pax Mahle wines. This is no exception. My last of 6 bottles. Killer. Fruit is sure waning. Smoke and olive on the nose. Deep blackberry with smoke and olive tapenade and lingering mushrooms. Still some acidity but on its way down. Stored right has a few years left. It’s all structure now. 45-60 seconds of luscious finish.

Hid it’s alcohol well, but oh my - 15.7%. Previous bottle a year ago seemed tired, but this one was still fresh.

Oh boy! After steak wine. Pax killed it! Surprised it was so ready after 4 1/2 years in oak. Fill throttle and so nicely balanced. Will be very interesting to see how this continues to evolve.

I was going to wait till the weekend to compare these 2 bottles, but since I only had 1 glass of the good bottle yesterday,,
Agharta was a waste, Could be past its prime, or just corked
I have 2 more bottles 1/2,price! Anybody? Anybody?😬🙏
