  Not sure if it's just past prime or prematurely oxidized, but it was certainly in the pruney/raisiny part of the spectrum and the colour had started to brick. Given that it was still a fairly good showing with some of the more expected fruit and meat coming out, but I'd hoped it had more life left in it.

  Picked up within the past 2 years from the winery. Last visited almost 4 years ago.
  
  Bacon fat, iron, menthol, blackberry and pepper. A little chewy, long, long finish.
  
  Still a favorite domestic syrah producer even if a little past prime.

  -- decanted 20 min before 1st taste --
  -- tasted non-blind over 2 to 3 hours --
  
  NOSE: "dark"; band-aid brett; concentrated black olive.
  
  BODY: medium bodied; dark color.
  
  TASTE: strong brett; smoky like a rauchbier; maybe a hint of TCA; somewhat of a trainwreck, but was able to enjoy it by pretending it's a rauchbier.

  Undrinkable. Too old and got worse as the evening progressed. This was part of a 6 bottle library wine grouping purchased on Berserker Day. I'm hoping for better from the other bottles...
