  Wow! This was amazing start to finish. Capsule was a bit stuck to the bottle, cork showed a bit of saturation which gave me some concern. First sip immediately after opening screamed youth. Vibrant and fresh. Maybe the 12% Viognier amplified it? Violets and faint leather intermingled with black/blue fruits. Stayed consistent for 2 days. I’ve had many a Lytton Syrah and this clearly the best.

  So nice, at peak !! An ATP selection gently aged a decade and a half to the pinnacle of flavor maturity !!
  Dry cork that required Durand extraction without too much drama. Consumed over two days. This Syrah was co-fermented with 12% Vioginer, Côte Rôtie style. Deep dark burgundy color with medium clarity. This bottle displayed spicy aromas of raspberry and cherry with flavors of back cherry, raspberry, blackberry, pepper, garrigue, and earth with a lush long finish. Truly an age worthy wine, this was my last bottle of this vintage year.

  Long slow ox followed by 2 hour decant. Drinking just fine. These need bottle age and then lots of air to come around. Berries, mushrooms, rich but light.

  Mid neck fill. Blackish color in glass with fading rims. Nice tobacco bouquet. Good body on palate with warm tannins and acidity but fading obvious. Lingering finish. Slightly past prime Softens with aeration. Traces of fine sediment coat the inside of bottle. Drink soon.

  Really showing well. My favorite older Ridge ATP Rhône in a while. Definitely has the usual Ridge oak notes, but plenty of structure and fruit left to balance it nicely.
