Friday, April 24, 2015 - Ripe California Wines (Private Location): *** Please see this note only in the context of the whole tasting ***
Glass: Riedel Vinum Syrah
Wine: Double decanted
Hazy, medium golden-amber color. At first it seems, that the wine was clearly oxidized at definitively past peak at the nose, but the oxidiative notes vanished over time.
Dry, with medium+ acidity, which was a bit sharp. Quite high alcohol (14,1%) and full bodied. The taste was much better than the nose with medium+ intensity and a medium+ finish. Quite spicy, dry fruits (Apricot), elegant oak.
This was not an optimal bottle and clearly past peak. I don’t give it an “official” score, this bottle was around 85 Points.
