Walter Dacon, Vin a Dessert, Syrah, Red Mountain 2007

Saturated red/purple.

Authentic, "porty" nose - brandied, intense black fruits, licorice, damp earth. Opened yesterday. Better aromatic integration and expression today.

Sweet and powerful in the mouth, with acidity the main structural component. Very tasty, but lacks the density/extract to fully support its sugar.

$18 375mL
