  From the wrong stems at a restaurant. Ripe raspberries, red fruit on the nose. First half of the bottle was decanted and followed over 45 mins, with the balance consumed 1-2 hours after opening.
  
  Black and red cherry, raspberry. Acidity dissipated over time. When a sample was coravin'd at home prior to leaving to ensure it was ok, the wine showed a little more depth and structure over a 45 min samplling window. In a good place today.

  Wow. This GSM, even at 8 years old, still has a bold flavor. Beautiful reddish purple color of the Syrah, the nose is subtle, but the pallet is full of rich fruit. It could hold up for a couple more years.

  Nice mouthfeel but fruit seems to have faded a bit and just not that much going on. Feels past its prime.

  Dark red. Ripe and sweet. Very poor.
