A bit musty, with aromas of sweaty socks, but this did blow off. Mature and past prime, but still has some interesting "mature wine" qualities to it.

1994 Ravenswood Petite Sirah Sonoma County

Perfect fill level and cork. Nice healthy red in color, with no browning on the rim. Still primary and youthful at 30 years of age. Full of red fruit and pepper. Plump and juicy. Doesn't Petite Sirah ever age?

I was expecting the worst, given other notes here, but this was a pleasant surprise. Purchased on release and perfectly stored. Great fill level and great condition on the cork. Deep golden color. Definitely mature, with the fruits taking on a more aged, baked quality, but the acids were great and the minerality was strong. I would opt to drink sooner rather than later, but I'm not in a super rush on this.
