WCC Syrah from around the world tasting (Clifton Park, NY): Came across relatively one-note with lots of black fruit, though I also didn't spend a lot of time on this - found a couple of the other wines in the flight more interesting and also kept going back to my pours from the previous flight, while this didn't really hold my interest.

Nose of leather and chocolate mint. Rich mouth. Finishes with cherry liquor filled chocolates, but in a good way. Not at all over the top, restrained and well balanced. Steve's favorite wine from my cellar. Rest in peace.

OK 98 from Parker maybe too much, but this is still a very good wine. I like the aussie shiraz and this one is very good. More than 20 yrs but this is still in good shape for many more years

[Double decanted for 4 hours at 1pm.] Big spicy red fruit and licorice nose. Big in the mouth but balanced. Lovely. Could use more time.

Very good. Decant at least 5-6 hours. Consistent with previous notes.
