  Decanted 1 hour and followed over the next 3. Dark ruby in the glass, with aromas of sweet cherry pie and vanilla. Flavors of black cherry, some earthy notes and a sour cherry finish. I think this is on the downward side of life. I didn't get the blown away feeling I'd gotten before. Was nice on day 1, but fell apart on day 3 after being stored in a 375ml bottle (full). Drink now - 2017/18.

  Day 3 for this wine, and it's much, MUCH better! Day 1 (Friday) it was rather dead. Not a lot of flavor, muted nose. Vacu-sealed it and didn't touch it until Sunday, when it was exploding with fruit and earth! Astounding transformation! It literally went from an 86 point wine to a 93. Very, very good stuff, and nowhere near peak.

  - Crimsom color - Very tart. Not one thing I would normally equate with a Washington Syrah.

  Bright red fruit, strong acidity but starting to mellow a bit. Nice wine, very food friendly. Try again in 9-12mo.
