A forgotten bottle I found in my locker. Honestly I thought this might be a little long in the tooth, but by the looks of this, I would never have guessed it was 13 years old. Deep purple. No bricking. The wine still smells fresh as well. Purple and blue fruits with some cream. Big and fruity with medium acid and still medium tannins showing. Listed at 16.1% abv but this did not come off as boozy although it is no fragile flower. Certainly not fading but no reason to wait to drink this.

I am a big fan of the Novy Page Nord. This is a wonderful wine. Not for everybody as the alcohol is very present but it is not overly hot. On the nose you do get the alcohol but there is plenty of red berries to fill it out. A ripe wine but not just a cocktail. Lots of fresh ripe red berries and solid acidity. Works well with food. Not goopy. A sense of jam but medium bodied. A treat and rounding out nicely. I would say drink now.

2003 Syrah/Shiraz (Tasted Blind) (Rich and Peggy's House, Los Altos, California): Very average nose. Average palate upon opening, but improved significantly over the next hour. Tasted blind.
My #9. Group's #7

Very good, with deep blue fruit flavors, tar and tannic structure. Held together very well over the 2-3 days this was open. Nice stuff and well made.
