Broken Stones Red Rhone Blend

Dilly Dilly

So good

All smiles tonight

Needed some time to open. A bit green and vegetal at first. 2 hours in decant and it smoothed out with nice texture. Nice but needs time I think. Will wait a couple of years on next one.

A Red Head bombshell!!!
Bad to the bones. Rich. Dark chocolate. Cruched Velvet! Velvet underground all the Way to SoHo!

Vanilla baked bing cherries & hot gravel. Rich & focused.

Enjoyed a 12-hour pit roasted pig BBQ with friends and #SaxumVineyards#SaxumVineyards#SaxumVineyards was the star. The 2009 #Saxum Broken Stones #Syrah blend was fantastic! Open at least 6 hours prior to tasting to soften. This dark beauty is juicy, deep and weighty. Wonderful minerality, earthiness with spice, blackberry and licorice. Super intense but oh so worth the wait!

A little too young still, but very tasty.

Need to serve this chilled. Room temp (florida) it has serious burn on the tongue

Was fortunate to get this aged bottle at auction at a great price. My first Broken Stones. Age has softened the tannins to nice velvet and has likely taken (only) some edge off the rich Paso fruit, mostly from James Berry. I don’t detect much in the way of secondary/tertiary notes. That, and given a strong acid backbone, I venture this is only middle aged.

The alcohol on the nose really hits you. Dark red, black and blue fruits, cola, decent amount of tannins.
