We have to agree somewhat with the last six TNs that this wine was not what any of us have come to expect from Joey Tensley's Syrahs. As skiwine said - it is neither corked nor spoiled - it just seems to have lost much of its fruit. While there was still some dark fruit and spice on the palate, there was also a distinct sour note running through the background. After one glass each we dumped the remaining bottle.

Terrible. Not corked not spoiled. Seems like it just dropped off the cliff. Very harsh. Let it sit overnight hoping it would open up-it got much much worse. Last bottle in 2020 was excellent. This bottle was stored at 57 deg from date of purchase. Very disappointing, I am a big fan of Tensley and these wines usually age well.

Hugely disappointing. Big fan of Tensley wines but this one fell flat. Harsh and unpleasant tar notes. I think it probably needed time to open up.
