Smokin Meat and Serious Syrah 2.0 (Westport, CT): Another wine that I just didn't do detailed notes. It was opened and decanted right when we arrived and so probably had 4-5 hours in a decanter before being rebottled and then served a bit later. I preferred this a touch more to the Peake. This was a bit more old world style while still good fruits. It's got just a hint of the more savory side of syrah. Would love to revisit in 15 years.

Yangarra Estate (United Cellars, 100 William Street, Sydney): Medium minus intensity aromas of blackberry and a little peppery spice. The oak is far more integrated than for the 2007 and there is a touch of earthiness here as well. Tangy, quite tight - the tannins are a little chalky - with a touch of alcohol warmth. Hmm. It's actually a bit underwhelming for me.
