  Still going strong. Probably at least a year or two left

  Here we are at age 19, and if I didn’t have those past tasting notes (of closed-ness) to look back to.m, I’d wonder whether this was a 2002 or a 2012 or a 2017.
  
  Still quite structured, but the great nose is up to the task, as is the colorful and full mouth, and the (still a bit structured) length. Quite a thing.
  
  Ps: needed an hour of air.

  (Syrah Tasting in Ojai) THIS is the reason we remain in this wine club. Might be one of my Top 10 Syrahs ever. Elegantly mature, still hanging onto some youthful fruit. But it has also blossomed into secondary and tertiary phases. Enchanting bouquet of game, horse blanket, hillside brush and cedar. Explosive on the palate, yet focused with bay leaf, cinnamon, blueberry and beef blood. Tannins are fully resolved. Medium to full bodied. Drink now to 2025. Outstanding!

  Really beautiful Syrah. Velvety texture. Soft mouth feel. Big and luxurious. Quite possibly at its peak. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

  Similar to my last notes. Very big and expressive and lots of time still on this one. Lots of sediment so pour carefully
