Had this pop & pour 2-3 years ago and it was just hot oak mess...decanting this was better, between 1-2.5 hrs or so it was nicely balanced, but fell off after that.

P&P. Very smooth and creamy. Big black fruit, earthy, but lacking the black pepper I typically get from WA Syrah. Great stuff however, that is drinking perfectly right now. However, $30 for this wine is a stretch (I got this bottle for half that). Haven't tried any vintage but '06, so if '07+ have more complexity, etc, I can see it justifying the price. The winery was closing this vintage out for $20, which is about right.
