Nose of lightly smoked earth, heavy on the musty black olives. Black olives with acidity and hint of effervecence on the palate. Saltily astringent with tea tannins.

Needs plenty of air and has some oak but this Syrah is very good and balanced.

2+ hour decant. Like peeling an onion layer by layer. Earth, olive tapenade, smokey meat, blackberry, resinous herbs, sea spray. Tannins show persistence but fine. Bright acid.

Super inky hue, fresh berries and earth. A little young. I look forward to trying it again in a few years.
