Tasting notes
The 2011 Syrah Migliara is every bit as compelling as it was from barrel. Deep, unctuous and also quite aromatic, the 2011 exudes class. Inky blue and purplish-hued stone fruits, spice, new leather, lavender and black pepper all meld together. The 2011 appears to be going through a stubborn period, as it is a bit less overt and expressive than it was from barrel. Tasted next to the 2012, the 2011 presents a darker profile.

The 2011 Syrah Migliara shows a more savory side of Syrah, with the fruit pushed a bit backward and plenty of varietal aromas and flavors that develop in the glass. Lavender, cured meats, black pepper, mint, sweet spices and tobacco give the 2011 superb complexity that plays off the inherent richness of the vintage and generosity of Cortona. A dense, meaty wine, the 2011 Migliara is going to need at least a few years in bottle to fully blossom. Still, it is impressive today. I tasted the 2011 from tank, just prior to bottling.
