- Garnet color - After reading reviews here I thought this would be way out of its prime but it wasn't. First glasses were superb. Notes of vanilla custard and black fruit. Towards the end of the bottle it indeed faded rather quickly, but still a good experience.

interesting syrah...fruit was not over extracted in a modern way but just gobs of fruit...odd. was not bad but not my preference as lacked mouthfeel and balance/acidity.

Lots of dark, ripe fruit on the nose. Dark berries, cherry. Still a pleasant bit of tannins, but most have subsided. A very good wine, but can't imagine this has all that much more life left.

Exuberant nose of ripe fruit, the tannins seem to be resolved, the berry flavors finishing soft and smooth. A very decent drink, I enjoyed it with grilled lamb and roasted peppers.

Let it go too long, even in a lower storage temp. Fruit was good but structure had fallen apart
