  Still a long way to go, medium dark red, bright.
  
  Decanted 90 minutes.
  
  Pepper, red/black fruit, brightish acidity, more balanced than 14.5% abv would suggest. At a very nice point, would have been nice to have another to hold till 2025

  Not decanted. Winebid purchase. This was, once again, jut great. This bottle showed a little more advanced than the last. This is toward the end of the peak drinking window. Zero tannin. Again, a predominant iron note courses through the nose and palate along with boysenberry, hoisin sauce, and mild spice. Delicious, but softening up. Stays just on the good side of flabby...a touch more acidity last time helped. Great wine.

  This was outstanding. Iron notes abounded underneath the spicy plum skin and blackberry flavors. Very Syrah, and drinking at peak. Really excellent.

  Dark berries on the nose and palate. Give this about 30 minutes in the glass and it comes together. Balanced with a rEally nice finish.

  I love this wine. Earthy, forest floor, mushrooms, barnyard. Distinctive Boushey funk. It's aging very well.
