  REALLY mellowed out from an overbearing wine in its youth to a mature, pleasant rocks syrah. Overdelivered.

  Overall disappointing tonight. Crazy aromatics on the nose, but middling mid fruit and a wimpy finish. Off bottle?

  This just goes to show how great Reynvaan wines can become with some age. Medium purple color, medium body, and a bit of noticeable alcohol on the nose. The nose further shows smoke, cherries, iron, hoisin, and a classic "rocks" aroma. The palate brings much of the same with more present sweetened ripe dark and red fruits, all encompassed with velvety tannins and a great finish. This is drinking superbly now, but is just coming into its own. I just hope I have the patience to hold onto my last bottles for another 10 years to see what happens. Really good juice!

  Simply astonishing at this point. Silky tannins with a mouthful of polished stone. Damn fine.
