  14 years young. Plenty of blood and iron and dark fruit. No signs of fading as this got better in the decanter. Got one more and might wait a year or 2

  Consistent with previous note, maybe edging a little towards the end of the window, but probably still another good year left. Really nice wine.

  Agree with Dutradan's review above. This was excellent and got better over the 4 hours of drinking. Two more bottles that will stay cellared for 1-2 more years.

  Gerry does a great job with all his wines. the 05 is just coming into its own, will get better over the next several years. must decant for an hour or more and at this point the wine reveals its character and secrets ever so slowly. 5 hours later i am wishing i had just started drinking this wine as it has evolved and is now a silk tapestry taunting me to understand its true place in the world.. dark fruits on the nose with perfumed aromatics (3% viognier is making a contribution here) the viognier elevates the syrah fruit notes without conflicting, blue berry and violets, some rich grilled fat( not necessarily bacon) and an alcohol presence (15%) that is easy to ignore unless you are trying to focus on it. on the palate it all comes together with an integrated sweet tannin that adds to a nice medium/long finish. I have 2 bottles left a 750 I will try in 2-3 years and a magnum that I will share with special friends if I make it to my 65th B day in 7 years. but only if I can resist the temptation for that long......
