Saturday, March 3, 2018 - Despite its 13+ year age, this is still a powerful wine with plenty of life ahead of it. Those who dislike a ripe style of wine will certainly hate this wine, but I don't find it overextracted or alcoholic at all. The black fruits are still very juicy, but there is a lot of complexity to balance them out including the classic Syrah element of roasted meats, savory Indian spices and a finish that has a surprising amount of minerality. The wine has a boisterous fruit-laden personality backed up by loads of underlying complexity. There is no hurry to drink this one, assuming it has been cellared appropriately.
