  This has held up surprisingly well. The blueberry, dark berry, pepper has given way to something almost meaty, leathery, with bramble and a hint of pepper. Tannins are well integrated

  Maybe on the edge of over ages but still a nice brick red color, lots of pepper on the nose with still some nice fruit. I’m surprised how well this has held up.

  4/21/2019 - afields Likes this wine:

  Pnp. Heavily incensed cedar and sandalwood, musk, pencil shavings, some blackberry and dark plum but this is mainly tertiary especially on the nose. I expected this to be well past its prime especially since I have no idea how it was stored, but it’s at most slightly too old, certainly still enjoyable, and my guess would be I like this better now than I would fresh. 6.5/10

  Not as good as the 2002. Alcohol balance was a little high.

  I suppose this was consumable since it was neither corked nor oxidized; however, it was such a bastardization of the syrah grape that I'm not sure if I would have been able to identify the varietal without the label.
  Please Arrowood, do us a favor and pull the remaining of this for your sake. I'll never drink anything else from your winery but someone else might.
