2005 Syrah Tasting: Red and dark berry fruits on the nose, with some brett and coffee notes. Brighter red fruit on the palate and fairly tannic, but fine grained. While I thought this was pretty good, many others appreciated it more than I did.

A bit of funk on the nose upon opening, which cleared after about an hour. Distinct syrah flavors with some nice structure and modest complexity. This is not a hot, fruit overload, but rather, something more classy. Still good on day 2, but seemed to be slipping just a bit, so probably for drinking relatively soon.

Think this wine is drinking great right now. Dry ripe fruit and good earth. Feel you can taste the terroir in this wine thru and thru.

Did not drink as well as previous bottle. Not as vibrant, fruit a little stewed tasting.
