  Still bountiful fruit quantity and quality with lovely integration and development. On NYE (celebrating older wines ending in a '3).

  Great bottle. Dark purple color with a lot of black fruit. Thought this bottle might be past its prime but plenty of life left. Popped and poured and drank over 4 hours. Delicious.

  Still going strong. No reason to wait but this is still a great example of cal Syrah. Enjoy.

  The wine is deep purple with pronounced developed aromas of blackberry blueberry anise chocolate tobacco black currant. This is a dry wine with medium plus intensity flavors of blackberry blueberry black currant nutmeg cloves, tobacco chocolate. The wine has high alcohol and medium plus acidity and medium tannins. This is an outstanding quality wine that should be drunk now with no potential for further aging. This wine is clearly at its peak and is an amazing wine at this point.

  My dad tried to open with a corkscrew and shredded the cork, but I saved it then filtered and decanted; surprisingly little sediment. Didn't take / remember any formal notes but the wine was extraordinarily bright and lively, everyone really enjoyed. I have another bottle that I'm in no hurry to drink now.
