Pago del Ama, Syrah, Vino de la Tierra de Castilla 2001

Deep red.

Smoke, bacon, earth, red and black fruit nose. Not at all opulent.

Round impression, but kept taut by reasonably strong acidity. Linear through the mid-palate and finish, but has good flavor depth. These guys were at HdR this year - restauranteurs I think. This could use some real (dead animal) food.
