  Coravin 9/15/18: aromatic, nice integrated spice, sweet with just a bit of pepper; palate is medium bodied, nice medium acidity, medium-plus alcohol, fully integrated medium tannins; medium length. Good, clean, recognizably syrah, good integration and at a good stage of maturity. Better integrated alcohol than my last bottles, and this is better than my last one in 2016. 90
  With air, a bit of heat and excess alcohol shows. Still not bad, but not one to search out.

  Dinner @ Home (Fremont, CA): Deep ruby-purple color; moderately aromatic nose with soft spice, red fruit, slight garrigue that comes out with thought and concentration; palate is medium bodied, medium acid, medium-plus alcohol that comes across as just a tad hot, medium tannins that are still a bit prominent, red fruit appears to be fading into the background; medium finish. Compared to my last bottle 2 years ago, the fruit has receded and not much has come to take its place, so that gives the structure a bit less balance. Drinkable, pairs well with food, but not one to search out. I will drink my last within the next 1-2 years. 88
  With 1.5 hours air, a bit more spice and aromatic complexity, but it still has a bit excess heat on the palate. Not bad. 88-89

  PnP. Fairly deep nose of high toned red fruit, a savory element, white pepper, spicy oak and cured meat. This also comes across as a little hot. Medium weight palate with a decent amount of acididity. Nicely done.
