anise and floral top notes

As the wine uncoils—I know it's too young—I just can't put down my glass

You definitely get the sense this wine has more to offer once it fleshes out with extra bottle aging

its sophistication rippling with nuance rather than sheer vulgar power

Ramey, Rodgers Creek Vineyard Syrah Vintage:2012 anise and floral top notesAs with the 14, the 2012 Syrah Rodgers Creek Vineyard saw a whopping 10% Viognier. Its still young and offers a sensational perfume of currants, smoked meats, olives, spices, and crushed flowers. Its a full bodied, rounded, voluptuous beauty that has no hard edges, a flamboyant, sexy personality, and a great finish. Count me as a fan. It will continue drinking beautifully for another decade or more.
