This has aged so beautifully. A bit tan on the meniscus but with a deep ruby, it stills has plenty of fruit, balanced tannins and dried herb notes. It airs out surprisingly quickly and is damn drinkable with only 15 minutes of air. Too good to be in the table wine category but a value champ at 25 clams. Winner, winner.

Really nice aged Syrah. Fully integrated and ready to rock and roll. A bit of funk and plenty of sediment. Decant for a short bit and avoid the chunks for full blackberry, spice, nuance. Delicious and the best part is my wife doesn't like it, so I get the whole bottle!

Vertical with 2004. 05 bright notes and meaty palate with a sizzle of dirt on the finish.
