  Earthy and rich, with some warm baking spices. Good.

  My last bottle. It’s been a great ride.
  See my previous comments, I *love* this wine.

  I waited four years to open this, and it did not disappoint.
  It’s still what every wine strives to be: a fantastic experience, from pouring in the glass to five minutes after swallowing.
  Savor this one, folks. Use all your senses.

  Dark fruits, light touch of smoke, pepper and saline. Smooth and balanced.

  “From shadows and images into truth.” At least, that’s what the bottle says (in Latin).
  
  I’m not sure this is the truth of Syrah, but it’s a good bottle. Solid block fruits with a bit of smoke and pepper. As others have noted, not a lot of acid—just enough to balance the fruit. Finishes on the hot side.
  
  Some folks are saying the drinking window is relatively far into the future. I’d say this wine will be best for the next 2-3 years.
