2007 Saxum Heart Stone

Deep red color. Nice dark fruited nose. Intense fruit, blackberry, some cherry, anise. Sharp tannins, good acidity and balance. Bit hot (15.3% ABV) although this is not usually a problem with Saxum despite high alcohols. Finishes long and dark fruited but the heat persists. Note taken 2 hours after opening. Chalk it up to an off bottle (not flawed). "B"

65% Syrah; 21% Grenache; 14% Mourvedre
