Big inky looking Syrah in the glass, but not over powering. Has mellowed wonderfully. A lot of sediment on half the bottle. from laying down. Wonderful mouth feel with velvety coating. Anise, fennel, braised meat essences. Lovely dark fruit on the blackberry side and notes of the French oak vanilla. Pairing with fennel sausage pizza and it's a hit....Great Red Mountain wine that makes me want to explore other from this winery.

Not the best of the 1985 ports, this bottle was showing some age: past peek in my opinion. No bricking but dark fruit not as forward as other bottles. Went very well with the flourless chocolate tart with raspberry sauce. Sipped on intermittently for another week and it held up from opening.

Great value compared to retail. Soft with light mouth feel and light red fruit. Steak and a football game.
