2004 Saxum Bone Rock James Berry Vineyard

Paso Robles Syrah Blend, Syrah more

I went through my 2004 Saxum years ago. The spritz vintage. Got this off auction for $60 and wanted to see how a 19 year old Saxum was doing. I had a 2005 Rocket Block Thanksgiving and it was mind blowing. That and a 2003 Rocket Block that Justin gifted me are the oldest in my cellar.

This wine still has some spritz so vigorously decanted. A little reductive on the nose. Comes across with stewed, Caramelized, medicinal notes. Question how well it was stored or if this is the evolution of spritz vintage. Still drinkable. My wife actually loved it. I just don’t do well with unintended Amarone.

I’d say this wine is flawed but it is the exact same experience I had with a bottle at a restaurant and it had the same issues. Someone earlier said it came across as a “dirty old wine” which I agree with. There are oxidative features that are hard to get past. RP points pointed this out and said it might haunt owners at a future date and gave it 95? With the dread ? LPB and JD gave it very high scores. Wonder if there are different bottles out there. Love right bank wines. Not this one. The 2000 was quite nice. Not sure what happened with some of these bottles.
