April 6, 2021 - beautiful example of Boushey Syrah in its prime I think. Nose of violets and hints of funk. Big blackberry fruit with underpinning of coal tar, brambles, iron, blood. Integrated nicely and ready to go now, but seems to have structure to last a long time.

June 9, 2019 - So disappointed, I believe this was a flawed bottle regardless of proper cellaring. Nose was musty, dank,moldy, so bummed. Hoped it would taste ok but no acid, fruit etc.

January 9, 2017 - Smoky and earthy black fruit on the nose. Smooth palate with bramble black fruit and medium acid. Finish is sharp but lingering.
