  Slo-oxed for 5 minutes to allow some funk to blow off, and the wine did not improve throughout our dinner. This wine is definitely showing its age and we may have waited too long to open it. Although the nose gave us some red fruits, the palate did not measure up as we found the fruit fading and the earth and acidity becoming prominent. The wine was rather light bodied for a Syrah, with some
  spice, and resolved tannins.

  Started off tart and green as most Tensley Thompsons I've had, then after 2+ hours it eased to be less fruity than his other work, but expressive in its vegetal nature, if still a little uptight. Did not release fruit for me, but still a pleasantly austere drink.

  expressive red berry favors, layered and wonderful toast and spice. Highly extracted - quintessential Tensley Syrah. Love it

  A bit of menthol on the nose followed by a mouthful of blackberries with a smooth lasting finish
