I like this bottle of '97 better than the one I had at Thanksgiving...this one seems more full and rich, and I get really nicely developed fruit, green apple, apricot, mango, and I swear a hint of chamomile mint tea, with the petrol in a supporting role...I remember the previous bottle as petrol dominant.
I did jump this up a couple points, this bottle was better.
Also posted this in the CT forums, but will use as my TN here:
Not too complicated, but a very nice bottle at $20; I get apple, some pineapple, the wife got papaya, with some underlying petrol. Tangy, noticeable acidity on the finish...Definitely could lay some down!

2010 Bedrock Wine Co. Syrah Pleine de Chene Hudson Vineyard North 92 Points
USA, California, Napa / Sonoma, Carneros
Decanted for 8+ hours.
I think this is a good example of pretty textbook Syrah. Blackberry, bacon fat, smoked meat, hint of eucalyptus, touch of minerality.
Give it a long decant or cellar for a couple more years.
