Over 3 nights. I got more acid this go around than my other bottle, one year past. Finally lost that kick on the final eve. Drink now 90-91.

Tasting notes very similar to NOJOMOSCHWA's. Throws a lot of sediment... but otherwise this was in-gear & ready to burn rubber, right upon PnP. I got me a killer deal at 13 & change..

Very striking wine (in a good way). Clear, concentrated blue and purple fruits with a definite savory streak of tartare and smoky earthiness. Decanted for about 2 hours, and the wine continued to evolve nicely over 2 days. For the price it was offered at ($25) it has a very good QPR.

I must have really enjoyed this wine as it was gone before I knew it. Slight smokiness, blue fruits, hint of cherry and nice long soft finish.

Eric Solomon Imports tasting- 50% Syrah, 25% Grenache, 25% Carignan. Wow- nose of meaty blueberry and white pepper along with perfumey cherry. Rich on the palate- notes of slate and blue fruit with peppery, meaty and savory depth. Brambly and wild feel yet fine and polished at the same time. Lengthy finish. Brilliant wine.
