Amazing vibrancy, fruit, and freshness from this wine. Lots of sediment in the bottle but still deep colors. Long finish with good balance. Dark fruit aromas and flavor.

Surprisingly vibrant for a 14 year old Syrah; seemed a little hot at first, more fruitly and balanced after an overnight put aside and vacuvin'ed; moderate body with some tanning remaining. Certainly "not yet dead" and still truckin' along.

Great that the winery released this one with 10 years of age on it. Wine is in a good place now too, great nose of blueberries and spice. The taste though is nice and smooth, but not much complexity to it and still a little hot for me. Overall a good wine.

Deep, dark and brooding. Decanted for 1.5 hrs. Initially had some alcohol on the nose, which blew off after a couple hours yielding blackberry, tobacco and game on the nose. The mouth was full and well-rounded, still holding onto its tannins and clearly having a number of years of life in front of this monster. The wax has kept the cork fresh, and should continue to do so. Loved it!
