Reductive initially but opens up to a nice meaty dense Syrah

What a perfectly balanced vintage. Can drink now or later. I remember the '10 Hermitage being in the same place.

A little shock around the table with the unveiling. Storage was questioned but with a lot of similarities to the 2009 everyone was left nonplussed. Crazy high acidity to the point of unbalance.
