  Nose of creosote, hot plums, violets, vanilla bean. Blackberry, thick cassis, tar, ripe black fruit on the palate. Full bodied and heavy, better with food as the alcohol is powerful but still in check relative to the fruit. Drink now, this is starting to decline. 90-91

  Deep opaque crimson color. Nose of vanilla, blood orange, violets. Vibrant fruity full-bodied palate, violets, floral, purple/black fruit, some alcohol on the finish, extremely fresh given the age. Medium-low acidity, medium tannins.
  
  Really enjoyed this bottle, it tasted far more vibrant and fresh than the 2007 I had recently. Great old syrah. 92+

  This was a real surprise despite the reviews. One of the best domestic syrahs I've had. Had everything in a lush package. WA and WS nailed their reviews on this. Wish I had more. Great QPR.

  Popped and poured with grilled lamb chops. Good pairing. Liked by all.
