Drinking really well right now. Not showing any sign of getting too old. Throwing a fair bit of fine grained sediment. Black fruit and menthol nose. Palate of black fruit, bit of burnt Carmel, some slight alcohol burn.

Big, chewy syrah with loads of dark fruit, dried prune, tar and a bit of heat from the alcohol (15.4%). This was an '06 and it was still a bit tight with a slight sharp edge on the tannins.

Fantastic wine, great value. Smooth, strong wine. Deep color not an overwhelming nose but dark fruit, cherry, some smoke, and vanilla made it a delicious accompaniment to nice grilled Porterhouse steaks. Looking for more.

Not as good as my other bottle, but still quite enjoyable. This was a bit generic night 1 but well made, maybe 87? The tannins have settled a bit, but still decent acidity and balance despite the 15.4% ABV. This was actually better Night 2 by a good bit, maybe 88-89. It was plusher(OK), but more nuance came thru as well. I think i liked it in its youth better for the earthy tannins that give great balance, but otherwise give it air. Nice.
