2014 Vintage. Was a bit funky on opening but opens and lost that funk with air. Massive Syrah fruit and velvet mouthfeel. Great job Russell!

Inky purple dark and thick. This is big from the poor to the swallow. Stone blue fruits jump out with the heavy alcohol. Silky tannins scrape front half of your tongue, opening to currant chocolate leather. Cola back. Would have benefited from a few years in cellar. But certainly delicious now.

Jan 2nd, 2017Black olive on then nose when opened then softened to blue fruits, black berries, and tobacco. The acidity rounds it out nicely. Drinking well now but will improve over the next year or two.
