Released quite young, this is a wine to decant. It’s big and dark and tannic, tight as a tick, with grainy, textural tannins wrapped heavily around tart blue and purple berries. Though the flavors are pure Syrah, the structure and density are Cabernet-like, and though it’s a guess, the odds are this is a wine to cellar for at least a decade. ——P.G.(5/1/2011)—— 91
