  My last bottle of this vintage. Age definitely benefitted this wine. The 2014 was more about the savory elements, and those have integrated well at this point.

  Slightly better than I remember but still not my style.

  Very aromatic, pure intense syrah flavor, very dry and fairly tart. 13.3% ABV. Wonderful food wine. Unlike other vintages it is a bit on the tart side as a sipper without food, but still delicious. Beautiful acid balance. The whole package is harmonic and savory.

  This has improved from the last few times I had it. Fuller bodied, fruit is less tart, good length on the finish.

  Nice nose of dark berries, savory notes, a hint of sweetness, and dark fruit. Good balance with more dark fruit, thyme, and blackberries. Medium+ tannins and good acidity. Nice finish. Didn’t like it quite as much as last time I had it, but still a delicious wine!
