A decent wine but nothing special. Surprised as I had a 12 year old bottle of this at the winery some time back and it was delicious. Lots of fruit on the palate. Nose hints at a metallic note I associate with a Syrah but that is not evident on the palate. Fairly well balanced with a touch of acidity. Medium body and medium finish.

Not decanted. Slightly more in balance than when I had it a few years ago, but not showing significant change (aside from better integration of the high alcohol). Based on its minimal evolution over the last ~3 years I expect it can continue to age gracefully for at least a few more. Drinking well now, but not showing significant complexity or room for further improvement.

Slightly better. Alot of sediment. The wine doesnt offer much in the drink but leaves a very pleasant taste on tge palate.

A bit young still. A very spicy petite, with a nice finish for a 15% ABV wine. Can't help but think we jumped the gun on this one.
