Enjoyed after an hour's decant

Jaffurs, Santa Barbara County, Upslope, Syrah 2004 Napa Valley melting tannins and fine focus93 Points CellarTracker Member Deep tanzanite color leads to a nose of tar, blackberry, and a hint of vanilla. Full body has everything one wants in a syrah beautiful fruit, followed by a tar olive quality and finishing with sweet tannin. This was decanted 2 hours prior to drinking and paired magically with broiled lamb chops. I expect this has at least 7 to 10 more prime drinking years. 2 12 2012
