Seemed to be on the verge of going off for the first couple of hours. That blew off, and it got fresher later in the evening.

Day 2, really came alive.

Great. No complaints. Still, could probably benefit from another 3+ years.

Plush, balanced, and ready. The fruit is probably a bit dominating vs. acid, but juicy overall. Drink now. OK to hold. Yum!

Smooth, rich, classic syrah notes, nice acidity and a bit of tanin pull everything together. Drink now or soon.

Holding well, but ready and probably not worth waiting. Purple, a bit jammy, but very agreeable.

Still holding together, and a fascinating wine. Would definitely guess aged cab if tasting blind on this. Teetering on the edge, though. Drink up.

Stellar. Just a few minutes of air, and this becomes something very special. No rush to drink, but why wait?

This is hitting full stride at the moment. With 15 minutes of air, the juice comes alive. Fantastic stuff. Drink now.

Seemed a bit overdone on day 1, but by day 3, mellowed into something good+. Classic pinot profile, more CA than F - was hoping for a bit less of the CA.

Inconsistent with previous - pop and pour, was very good. After 1 hour, even better as it started to open up.
