Very nice wine. Stored perfectly since release. Fruit still there. Complexity drop off on night two. Turned jammy and port like. Past its prime. Drink up.

Wow! What a surprise. Absolutely delicious Syrah that was a wonderful complement to lamb. Inky purple on color with both black cherry (front of palate) and green olives (back of palate) flavors. While the two sound strange together, they worked well together. Can't wait to try future years.
