Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - Poured through Vinturi for splash decant ... This bottle seemed a little harsh, with rough edges on the finish and less of the up front fruit I've come to expect. I gather this one might be just past its peak and heading downhill. A little out of balance too, and never smoothed out in the glass or decanter throughout the evening.

This might just have been a slightly off-bottle, but I will say that, in general (i.e. more than just this one bottle), while I was initially impressed with Novy's syrahs, I've noticed they drink fairly well early on, but don't seem to cellar well, even over the relatively short term (3-5 years), making them a poor overall QPR, in my opinion.
