Saxum, Heart Stone Vyd, Paso Robles 2004

Deep red/purple.

Nose is tough to pin down - fresh earth, oak nuts, red and black fruit liqueur - smells a bit like port.

Sweet initial impression carries all the way thru to finish without a hiccup. Much more textural interest in the mouth than flavor action. Mineral/stony chew marks the kirsch(?) finish.

I find nothing particularly interesting here. Maybe air time will help.


Day 4 - Roasted oak on the nose and in the mouth, with cran/cherry jam flavor.

60% Syrah, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Grenache
