Clary vertical:
——————-
2011: Singing. Among the best Calfornia syrahs I’ve had.
2012: Closed right now. Will wait a year and try again.
2013: Young, feisty, peppery. Needs more time.

Savory and succulent, pepper and black fruits. Nothing complex here but very solid well made wine in a challenging vintage.

Two extraordinary syrahs last night. Freshness, energy and tension on the left. Complexity, nuance and old world character on the right.

I was concerned that the normally bright Clary would be too much of a good thing in cool '11. Shouldn't have worried. After a decant an incredible mineral structure opened to support the edginess.

Near perfection for me. Amazing concentration and intensity for a Syrah that tips the scales at at 12.4% alcohol. How do they do it?

More intellectual than hedonistic at this point in its development.
