Smooth and very grape forward. Not overly complex, the taste of Pinot shines through. I would not let it sit too much longer. The color is starting to turn, while the flavor does not show any oxidation, the color does.

Decanted off of a small amount of sediment, poured, and sampled over the next 90 mins. Nice bricky red color, fading toward the edge. Fragrant nose of cherries, cedar, floral notes, and spices. It took about an hour to open, and it was worth the wait. Smooth and elegant on the palate, not flabby or tart; medium body and pleasant weight. Spice flavors lead ahead of cedary tones; cooked flavors began to show up after about 90 mins. It's not heavily extracted, a plus. Finishes with another blast of cherry and zero tannins. The maker of this wine, Charles Myers, an important person in the history of CA wine, passed away about 6 months ago. I am glad that I found this bottle to commemorate his passing. It's memorable, and an unbelievable bargain.

    I note you are a fellow fan of Harbor wines. If you want to get some more of the Syrah, call Corti Bros. in Sacramento. (916)736-3803. They are liquidating the remaining Harbor Winery inventory and offering the '03 and '04 Syrah for $79 a case, tax included. Their shipping is pretty reasonable too.
    Enjoy!

It was a sin to drink this port. Absolutely fabulous, dense brown sugar, prune, and raisin.

I was a little confused. Cork says "Domaines Lapalu" -- looked it up on google, and it seems like that's a different wine, although they may be related. Cork was brittle and some fell into the bottle. Decanted and thought the wine was good, but I'm scratching my head about the cork...
