Drink now, open 45-60 minures before serving. Quintessential Napa Syrah. Still has a fruit forward approach but well balanced. Alcohol on the high side.

Very interesting to see how this has aged since last year. This bottle was much more similar to the February 6th bottle then the bottles from May and June of last year. May have to think about getting more.
UPDATE: drank this over 2+ hours and it got better and better as it opened up. Moving this back up to 90 Points. Definitely thinking about getting more.

I’d move this bottle down to 89 Points, a single point. This bottle had a lot going on from more “juicy” fruit and spice. Still lots of black fruit, plum, savory olive with some spice and pepper at the end. The acidity seemed to be slightly higher than I remembered though, but the tannins were nice and overall it was a nice balance with a medium finish.

Very nice big Sarah. Opened nicely as the wine set. A very smooth dark color.
