Cos d'Estournel
The bouquet is musty yet clean...that's the mint...?go figure. Fruity yet spicy with cumin and coriander. On the palate well structured with forward tannins, only slightly overwhelming for the dark fruit with spicy and peppery undertones. Good acidity with a relatively long finish.
Now that I've looked at my previous notes: Interesting how my appreciation for this bottle differs from that tasted in 2009. I make it a point not to look at my previous notes when I try a bottle I have evaluated before. The persistant qualities are a forward wine with definitive tannins, spicy overtones and a lot of backbone.

Turley - Petite Syrah Pesenti Vineyard
Dark, dark, inky color with a heavy black licorice and jammy nose, stains the glass deeply as you swirl it. Think and unctious on the palate with dark fruitand strong tannins. Leans toward hot but does not quite get there-good. The finish is strong, long and tannic. Needs at least 4 more years.

Axios - Cabernet Sauvignon
Sweet red fruit on the nose perfect blend of cherry licorice. A seductive aroma thats begging to be drunk. Massive structure, strong character, perfect balance of tannins, acidity and fruit. One of my favorite california wines!

Justin - Isosceles
Light cherry, red licorice and vanilla notes on the nose. Not the usual body of Isosceles with soft tannins. Red fruit with cedar and soft alcoholic overtones. A touch of bordeaux must gives this wine an overall pleasant package.
