Simple decant, 3rd and last btl. Slight bricking, this just seemed closed down, it was good with food not great, I just wanted more from this wine and it wasn’t there on the fruit side, short finish. Possible a cooler vintage? Drink now-2024

Probably the best showing of a few for this wine, there was a bit more of a nose, and it wasn't quite as tight. More savory than fruity. A bit drying on the finish.

Had side by side a 2013 Rhys Syrah. Different styles and I think we slightly preferred this one. Fleshier fruit, a little vanilla note, a little more of a green, bramble aspect. Not quite as structured as the Rhys. Made a better food wine with tamales. Probably safe to age a few years longer.

Second bottle, and there's still not much to it. There's a hint of blue fruit, but it doesn't have the tannins or the acidity I'd expect. Meh.
