  I poured a glass. The nose was very very off. Strong aroma of formaldehyde. I timidly took a sip and it tasted as bad as it smelled.
  
  I was looking forward to having a Syrah this evening, as its one of my favorite varietals.

  Très belle Syrah américaine.
  Dommage que ce vin ne soit plus en vente au Québec..
  Pas de Brett ici, bel équilibre.
  Lardé, olive verte, poivre rose, fruité animal.

  Showing in line with previous bottles. Peaked a few hours after opening, when the fruit, funk and tannin all achieved a vibrant harmony. Still showed well the next day. No rush to drink up, but in a good place.

  This has done well with a few years of sleep. Smooth fruit forward style that does downplay the more interesting aspects of Syrah. Very much in balance at the present, but a resample after 48 hours showed very well indicating there is no hurry with this. Good QPR.
