The 'B Block' Syrah is an intense and powerful wine, which begins with profound aromas of mocha, anise, creme de cassis and smoked meat nuances. The rich, velvery mouthfeel impresses as this is layered with dense, concentrated dark fruits which are well supported by a structured frame. Black Forest cake and crème de cassis combine with anise, sagebrush and creosote flavors that continue to build on the palate as this decadent wine enters the long, multi-tiered finish. Impressive now, yet I expect this to become even more compelling with a few years of bottle age. (Best 2019-2030) - December, 2017 (OB)
