Last bottle. Drinking well. Nicely evolved. All I can say is it’s different than my previous bottle 5 years ago. Hard to say that it’s “at peak” but some enjoyable elements of delineation and spice are present now that were not previously. The finish remains intense as well. Not as much ripe fruit but the fruit is not really fading either. My score hasn’t changed, but the wine has. Maybe I missed the peak in the last few years or maybe - it’s - just -different.

Opened and poured. Mouth puckering grape yum-yum. Purplish, thick and full bodied. Still fairly youthful. Dark fruits, grape/purples. lip smacking. Day two under vac u vin, not as good, but still very tasty. At peak.

A beautiful wine. Still a gorgeous purple color, this wine delivered. Well integrated tannins and fruit, this wine starts to be a sum greater than it's parts. Still could age but I don't have any more to find out.

Tasted originally in 2009, this Novy Syrah Gary's Vineyard has evolved into a stunning wine! Removed from my temp-controlled cellar, I popped and poured. Loads of fruit, white pepper, and last forever with a lingering, complex finish. There is no hint the cliff is near but at the same time, this seems to be at its peak. Drink soon and enjoy!
