Purchased at auction as an experiment. Faded, over the hill Shiraz. Tobacco and a little brett on the nose, on the palate faded fruit, oak, and a lot of acidity.

Initial smell is grape (wow) - still retaining good body 10 years in - I saw ref to burnt rubber - not quite that strong, but string iron oxide smell - the taste is much different than expected - very smooth - strong berry tones - possibly lingonberry - some cherry - slightly bitter - I am impressed how it has held up!

A little better than my last bottle, much more fruit, tastes like an older fruit bomb, with some oaky elements! Tonight with grilled steak. 89/90

PnP at Bay Grape: Not my style of Syrah. Big, heavy, very round with a mouthfeel that is tiring.
