  Big and bold. Fruit forward with tannins prominent. Gave it an hour decant, could have used more. Powerful cassis and dark fruits on the palate. Lots of life left.

  This is bold, with strong blackberry and plumb on the palate. Let it breathe for 30 minutes and enjoy. Fading on second night.

  Track with a few CDP. This is ready and full-bodied. Classic Big basin syrah.

  This is drinking nicely, but has at least a few years left. Suggest a brief decant at this point. Very full bodied, with plumb and black cherry on the palate. This will hold up well with any grilled meat.
