This wine was very nice. There is still good fruit and a little tannin, but it was one of the most interesting bottles of Syrah I have had. Earth and fruit together. Very complex. A/A-

a bit sweet and musty on the nose (not corked, plastic closure) and very chemically and artificial
tasting.

Nice acidity. Lots of citrus fruit on nose and palate. 12.5% alc.
Nice to have pretty low alc.

Quite nice earthy flavors and nose. Good fruit. Just a bit of heat. Overall nice complexity.

Nice nose. Very smooth with some vanilla. Not exceptionally complex but pretty tasty.

very interesting. It smelled and tasted really funky when opened. After decanting for three hours it was fairly decent. It was much better than I expected for a relatively inexpensive 30 year old wine. There was still some nice fruit after all those years. It was a very fun experience to see how much it changed from opening to three hours later.
