Tasted in a flight of Pinot Noirs, this one stood out for a raisiny, pruny note, suggesting exceedingly ripe, even shriveled grapes. That gave it some bitterness throughout, although it’s still quite a good wine. A pity, because otherwise it’s a lovely wine, with refined tannins and wonderfully crisp acids.

All the oaky, leesy richness is there, with buttered toast, crème brûlée and smoky buttercream, and tons of fruity ripeness, with a blast of Meyer lemon, pineapple, white peach and apricot. Yet there’s also a firm, steely minerality, and, despite the dryness, maybe even a delicious touch of botrytis. The acidity is mouthwatering.

There’s an unripe, vegetal taste that detracts from the wine’s otherwise fine qualities. It’s dry and crisp and minerally, with pineapple fruit. But that asparagus edge is annoying.

Rather acidic now, giving a sweet and sour taste to the cherry, raspberry and oak flavors. On the plus side is dryness and silkiness.

This is a dry, acidic, tannic and earthy Syrah. It has impressively deep flavors of black and red cherries, bacon and sandalwood, and gets better as it breathes in the glass. Not an ager, but give it a few hours in a nice decanter.
