"The 2012 Fabius, Ciacci's 100% Syrah, is super-ripe, jammy and one-dimensional, with little in the way of varietal character. Black cherry jam, plum, mint and licorice flesh out, but there is not much of interest here. Ciacci would probably be well served by either paying more attention to this wine or not making it. There is so much to like in these current releases, so the Fabius is mystifying.
