  Still had a bottle of this in the cellar ...
  
  It’s a fine wine ... shows no sign of age ... shows the same characteristics when I had it five years ago — the dark fruits, the white pepper, the long finish and the perfect balance. I may have been too exuberant in my score back then. Or maybe I am too stingy now. But this is an excellent wine with a long way to go — although, sadly, this is my last bottle.

  Really nice Syrah. Red fruits, pepper, but a bit heavy on the raw wood flavor for my palate.

  Best showing yet for this wine -- which has always been great. This wine is elegant -- perfectly balanced, not overly concentrated.
  
  Butterscotch, caramel, white pepper. The ideal pairing with an herb-crusted pork tenderloin. But this is great on its own ...
