Clear deep ruby core, but starting to show some bricking at the edges. Fully developed aromatics with medium plus aromas and flavors of plummy prunes, stewed cherries, overly ripe blackberry, smoked jerky, mocha frappe, currant leaf, used herbal tea leaves, and melting sweet licorice. Unfortunately, the structure has totally disintegrated with acidity and tannin having fallen apart. Finish is short. Unfortunately this has declined quickly over the last three years. Tired, past its prime. 83 points.

Have always been impressed with and enjoyed this wine. Right now...liquid gold in a bottle. Nothing else to say.

about 1.5 hours in decanter. Really in a beautiful place. Meaty Syrah.
