Opened this with baited breath since we thought it had been consumed long ago. Pleasant surprise - it was still good! All nice Syrah characteristics - still great deep garnet color, med to full bodied, mellowed out with deep berry and choc notes; BUT, if you have a bottle-drink right away! It is at the end of it's life; had just a touch of cough syrupy-sherriedness quality on the finish. Fully enjoyed and considered myself lucky:) Note - gave an 89 where we had rated it a 91 in 2013.

My son brought this wine to Tribeca Grill, just in case we needed additional wine. On Pop n pour, this had a nice nose (that faded). This is a smooth, but weak syrah. It's not full bodied. I guess it's ok for the non geek crowd. I happen to own a bottle and it will be recycled at a summer BBQ of non wine geeks.

Red fruit with average complexity and balance; modest finish.
