  The exposition one presented the clearest vision of the three expositions in my opinion. Drinks good out of the bottle. Serves best at ~60F cellar temp - as it warms, the alcohol starts to take over and throws the palate out of balance.
  
  Savory and herbal on the nose - the main cast of black fruits hang in the foreground, but are not the focus. The palate delivers the richness of both a fresh black plum and sweet dried prunes. The rich primary fruit is supported by savory smoke, white pepper and rosemary. Dark florals of lavender and rose petal contrast the dark barrel of licorice and mocha, adding to the depth and complexity.
  
  Fantastic wine that aged well at ~$60. For me personally, I would drink up bottles now. While tempting to gamble on the upside, I think its much more likely the alcohol becomes more prominent as the primary fruit fades. The primary fruit is in great focus now, and the secondary/tertiary notes are showing a depth and complexity that make them excellent supporting actors.

  Last of the Exposition series syrahs. A worthwhile endeavor, if not the best QPR. Starting to show some age with subdued fruit and secondary characteristics. Minimal tannins. I'd suggest drinking soon but all may not agree.

  Decanted this for an hour before service. Right away, the aroma hits you...big dark fruits; blackberry, plum, maybe some fig? Coffee, some barrel notes, a bit of black pepper. Alcohol is lightly evident, but the fruit melds nicely with it. I will admit that this got harder and harder to drink as it sat in the decanter longer. Best right off the pop. Acid and tannin took over as it got more air. By hour 4 it was near undrinkable. Just a wall of black tea and battery acid with some blackberries hiding underneath. Not sure how to call this one. I loved it for the first couple of hours. Amazing wine, like 96-97 points! Later on, not so much...more like high 80s. Splitting the difference and going 93. I really think this has the legs to go another 10+ years at this point, so no rush to open these. Drink now - 2033+.

  Right out of the bottle this still impresses. As it airs it slowly looses the nose and palate complexity becoming an ungiving spicy, alcoholic, one dimensional tough wine to like. When first poured it was excellent with a deep nose and palate featuring black cherry and meaty notes. As it aired the alcohol dominates and any fruit influences go away. This bottle was stored in temp controlled storage for the entire time.

  Deep color with black raspberries, spice and floral in the nose. Lots of black and blue fruits, blackberries and black raspberries with licorice and spice in the flavor. The texture of this Syrah was really excellent and stood out to everyone drinking it. A rich, complex wine, medium to full bodied, very well balanced and a long silky finish.
