96 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

Kimsey's 2013 Syrah is utterly magnificent. A bevy of crushed rock, lavender, mint, violet and inky blue/purplish fruit blossom as the explosive, intense wine shows off its commanding personality. The 2013 is every bit as fabulous from the bottle as it was from the barrel, but the tannis are imposing and need time to soften a bit. (6/15)
