Either my palate has changed significantly or this wine has. Likely both. Too much alcohol and not enough finesse to garner much interest for me. In the right context, such as a backyard barbecue or a football game, it might be fine. But it’s just too big and boozy for dinner with the wife.

Very Pride in style as expected and big (15.5% on the label). This is still drinking well but on the downward slope and hard to predict how much longer this one has given the abundance of fruit and alcohol but lack of tannins and acidity.

Opened and poured, but this could have used a decant for at least an hour. Flavors of eucalyptus, honey, rosemary? and pepper. A bit heavy for my taste.

Paired well with peking duck in Chinatown. Nothing special but did the job done.

Perfect Pride Syrah, aging gracefully, but time to drink, as I don't think this will get better.
