Even better the next day -- bumped up 3 points as it came together nicely without the tannic edge. Dark fruit and Montreal seasoning, pencil lead and earth. Really serious, interesting and really delicious.

Still going strong. Slow ox and had all that 2010 vintage tannin and acidity going on. Very dark fruited and muscular but did soften some in the glass. Nose was tight. Serious.

Had my last one in 2013..as I figured it has aged out, rounded and supple. PNP, terrific juice, dark, ripe and ready. No hurry, probably has a few good peak years to go..but I'd drink it now.

Splash decanted and then poured through an elk head aerator. Very lush and full bodied, with black pepper, bacon, violets backing up the big blackberry fruit. Great stuff, and drinking well. Drink now - 2020.

Lush dark fruited syrah with a touch of spice. Went really well with Thai food.
