Did not decant this wine. The 11’s from Saxum have been really good.
Purple in color. 15.4% ABV. 67% Syrah and 33% Mourvedre. Killer nose of blue and black fruits, molten licorice and violets. Full bodied with exceptional acidity and remarkable balance. Plush and silky. Blueberries, boysenberries, bacon fat and smoke on the palate. The finish is exceptionally long with gritty tannins. Stunning wine that is aging brilliantly. Best over the next 2-4 years.
My rating: 95 points.
