I recant my earlier testimony about this particular wine and vintage. It has matured better than expected over the past few years. Mellowed considerably an hour after decanting.

Drank this last night, 3 years after recommended 'hold to' date. Still a beautiful, deep purple wine, long legs. Strong blueberry/blackberry notes fill your mouth, long smooth finish. We decanted it about 1 hour before drinking. Had reserved a small amount of non-decanted wine and agreed decanting definitely improved. Opened the nose and made the flavors more accessible

I drank the last one last week, certainly better this time around, I believe the others were stored incorrectly before I purchased them....anyway a nice end to that vintage of RBlock. I would say drink'em if you got 'em!

(Domaine Serene Syrah Rockblock Del Rio Vineyard) Blackberry and vanillin oak nose with a beef gravy note; oaky, heavy entry, chewy mid-palate with tart black fruit obscured by the spicy oak; medium finish

Drank second bottle in a month. Both were wonderful and will last for several more years.

Deep purple tone, pungent, almost overly ripe nose with deeply developed fruit flavor. Drink now, not later.
