Bottles holding up very consistently. Aged pleasant but fading every day drinker - 87-88 point wine at this point. Time to drink up any remaining holdings.

2nd recent bottle with very similar experience after having recently unexpectedly acquired a case of this - still an enjoyable daily drinker level wine but definitely fading at this point. Time to drink up any remaining holdings.

Rummaging through the cellar and found this 2001 Justin Reserve Syrah. I drank great. The fruit was still forward, but not jammy. The tannins were solid. Only bottle left, so all gone.

A great syrah, but unfortunately there was some ethyl acetate on the nose that was distracting.
