5+ years since my last bottle. This has come together a lot since then based on my notes. Tannins are well integrated, but could still use more time. Compared to other decade old petites, I found this somewhat boring and singular. Will hold my last couple bottles for the 15/20 years marks as an experiment. Hoping the 2007-2009 vintages will outperform this. Drink/hold.

Last bottle of 4 that I had bought. Held the last one to see how it would develop and it did not disappoint. Tannins well integrated. Deep inky purple color you'd expect from a Petit Sirah, blackberry, tar notes. Medium bodied finish. This is in a good place and could last a couple more years, but seems to be fully mature now.

Very nice petite Sirah. Does well with a short decanting. Very flavorful and great mouth feel. Drinking very well right now and I still have 3 bottles in my cellar.

Still drinking well after decanting for an hour or so. Cassis on the nose. Slight brown tinge on the edge. Long, dry finish. Holding up well.
