Was worried about the age here (and $22 auction get) so a quick P&P, instead of the usual decant. WOW this juice was singing from the get-go, interesting savory notes that make your mouth water & immediately wanting to come back for more... while the fruit plays 2nd fiddle. WOTY thus far. Night #2 wasn't quite as joyous, so recommendation is to drink now. 94,92.

Nice nose, very much syrah "funk", dirt and pepper. Well integrated, definitely in a very good place now. Don't see this getting much better, so certainly in the drink me now window for the next 6-24 months!

Would echo Winokdub - tasty but definitely on its steady, inevitable decline.

Very soft and balanced with some depth and interest. Probably the back end of its drinking window for my taste but still very nice.

Got much smoother and fuller with hour decant. Very nice, dark fruited, rich syrah. Agree it has a great QPR
