  December 23, 2020 - This bottle better than the last, but the clock is still ticking...Black fruit, field flowers, spicy oak on the nose; same fruit notes on the attack, meat and savory herbs in the middle and on the finish. Sharp and slightly acidic on the finish. Per prior note, this is in the home stretch. Drink up.

  November 28, 2020 - Deeep ruby color, thin meniscus. Wood, earthy spice notes populate the nose. Fine tannins coat the teeth and moderate acidity lends support.
  Palate reflects the nose with notes of black plum, cedar cigar box and leather. Medium body and medium long finish.

  November 16, 2020 - Dark purple color. Stewed black fruit, black olive, underbrush on the nose; black fruits and olive on the palate. One dimensional but lively. Sadly, the effervescence on the finish suggests that this is nearly done. Drink up.

  October 25, 2020 - At 10 yrs: dark garnet, no bricking at all. Big, linear - even austere? - nose of cooked dark fruit and olives. Similar on the palate - balance of fruit and savory elements. Clean with soft tannins and enough brightness / acidity. Example of evolution in the cellar as the meatiness and spice of a young Syrah have been transformed. Delicious with food. May still have some life ahead... but drink up soon.
