March 28, 2024 - Really developed nicely and finally approachable. Served at Turkish restaurant with friends. A perfect composite cork after over a decade in the bottle easily removed. Casis and black cherry with a medium but odd eucalyptus finish. Paired well with lamb. None remaining in the cellar.
March 17, 2021 - Remains huge. Balanced but not particularly pronounced syrah notes.
October 13, 2020 - Had 3 bottles that I drank over last few months. Liked the first one best. It’s big and tasty but a bit flabby, hot and unbalanced.
May 18, 2020 - Pretty good Syrah. Not super heavy.
December 14, 2018 - Fruit and acid are out of balance.
May 26, 2017 - My guests consumed this at my son's grad party.
November 29, 2014 - Rich and lovely with huge complex dark berry themes but structure and discipline to carry it through.. Sure wish I had more
June 14, 2014 - Less approachable now than I would have hoped. Seemed to open after 4-5 hours in the decanter. I would hold and think that this will continue to evolve very well.
March 1, 2014 - Decanted for 1 hour. Nose of red fruit with some dirt and chocolate in the background. Finish is smooth. Should age well with a few more years.
