2014 Colgin Cellars, IX Estate Syrah, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

JD98 As to the Syrah, the 2014 Syrah just about jumps out of the glass with incredible varietal aromatics of darker berries, bloody meat, pepper, and leather nuances. Surprisingly, it comes close to matching the 2014 in concentration and richness, yet it’s just slightly more accessible. Drink this pure, layered, incredibly satisfying Syrah over the coming 15 years.

JS97 Incredible aromas of grilled meat, blackberries, rose petals and black velvet. Medium to full body and ultra-velvety tannins — even if this doesn't show at first. It lags for five or six seconds and then grows and grows. Linear structure.
