2003 The Hess Collection Syrah Small Block Series Napa Valleymore |
2/10/2011 - J-Sho wrote: 82 pointsThis wine has lots of dark fruit but also anise and oak. Tempting nose but palate was hollow and oaky. Very short finish with slight bitter edge. Too bad. This wine was fantastic in its youth and sort of attracted me to syrah for the first time. Now it's clearly a hollow shell of its former self. |
