2001 Edmunds St. John Syrah Bassetti Vineyard - USA, California, Central Coast, San Luis Obispo County (11/24/2016)
Tart blackberries, dusted with iron, rosemary (mom said eucalyptus), the dust from a dry woodland trail and old leather. Then comes rare meat, smoke and mineral. Majestic wine. This was my last bottle of the 2001 Bassetti, but drunk up at a peak of perfection, and shared with family, so no sadness, just the joy that great wine can bring.
