Big Syrah still going strong. Lots of dark fruit and cedar. Nice velvety mouth feel. This one can go a few years if you can't get around to drinking it just yet.

I smell berry/herb, the pallette tastes of cherry and other red fruits with more ripe cherry on the medium finish with spicy oak overtones that fades into eucalyptus notes after a few second. Good, not fantastic, might get better in a couple of years as this is far from being super mature.

Blair Fox Winery Tasting (Blair Fox tasting room, Los Olivos, California): Tasted non blind at the tasting room. Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of currants, berries, cherries and a bit of floral notes. Flavors of black currants, black cherries and black berries. Medium acidity, firm tannins, full bodied. Drink now with extended air or continue to hold. 91-92.
