I think Elycohn's 4/16/23 note nailed this one for me. Decanted about an hour before drinking and then consumed over two evenings. Really lovely stuff.

Pnp. Drank over 2 days. Day 2 was similar to day 1. Consistent tastes of darker fruits. Not as fruit forward and alcoholic as the Central Coast Syrahs.

One off bottle that rounded out a mixed case order. Old world style. Short finish, not a lot going on here. Was hoping for more.

So damn cool and calm. Says a lot with few words. A deep, dark introvert, moves slow like a creeping fog. Barely there chocolate covered cherries, new leather, and violet. Velvet soft texture, metallic with a salty chew.

Still quite austere with a mineral driven profile. Lots of elbows. Disjoint. Love Arnot-Roberts but this was a tough year.

More red than dark fruited on the nose with savory notes of licorice, muted dark cherries, and a hint of brine. Light on the palate with nice acidity and medium, drying tannins followed by flavors of red berries, cherries, violets, and more brine. Quite long finish. Very good wine, but it feels a bit shut down at the moment. Needs air or time. Wait 5 years. 93+

Fruit forward in flavor but not texture. Airy and mineral driven on its feet. Very fine.

The complex quiet type. This really opened up after about an hour.

Deep purple. There's so much going on here: Violet, white pepper, chalk, and a lifted quality from a hint of VA that quickly blows off with air. Most impressive, however, is the penetrating minerality — all the more notable given the heat this vintage. Great stuff and possibly underscored. Drink starting 2023.

Reddish purple. Nose has notes of olive and violets. Tastes of blackberry, raspberry, iron, stone and white pepper. Long finish. Approachable now, but probably better in 3+ years. Good cool climate CA style of Syrah.
