Charles B. Mitchell 2014 Reserve Intense Figone Syrah (Fair Play)
This is a very deep-colored wine that has a laser-focus on ripe black-currant and black-cherry flavors and very firm tannins to shape those flavors. The texture is dry and astringent but the fruit component is so focused that it softens the tannic blow somewhat. Drink now with rich, fatty proteins or cellar until 2022 by which time it may mellowed. Jim Gordon
