Score 98/100 · Drink 2026-2038, Eric Guido, Vinous, Oct 2024
A whiff of confectionary spice gives way to dusty blackberries, lavender pastille and sweet smoke as the 2019 Syrah Extended Barrel Aging comes to life in the glass. Cool-toned and racy in style, this displays depths of mineral-tinged red and black fruits elevated by a whiplash of zesty acidity. The 2019 finishes impossibly long, leaving a peppery tinge and a liquid violet concentration as edgy tannins slowly taper off. This is a showstopper. The 2019 spent 41 months refining in a single 500-liter puncheon.
