This particular bottle past its prime. Flattish and one dimensional.

Spoiled (corked/oxidized). Perfectly stored since direct purchase from vintner. Countless similar examples from this producer.

Despite critics rave reviews this producers wines continue to fall short of expectations. 2 hours of decanting may have been too much for this one to handle. Brooding color, lacking on the nose and palate with an almost syrah texture but with flat characteristics. Didn't stand a chance against similar vintage Neely produced on vineyard likely no more than 5 miles away as the crow flies. Definitely one of the weaker sibling wines from Rhys.
