December 16, 2017 - Better than the previous bottle. The odd smell was gone and what was left was a solid, straight-forward Syrah. Dark fruits, full but not distracting tannins, and enough backbone to last several more years. A slight amount of sediment was present. Not the best QPR, but a decent wine that I wouldn't hesitate to drink again.

April 29, 2016 - Interesting. Pop and pour. A bit sweet at first, but that disappeared quickly. The wine has a strange odor; I thought tar, my fiancee thought cat urine (which makes me wonder....) On the palate, excellent flavors after the sweetness wore off. Dark fruits and earth. A touch of spice. Decant an hour or age another year.
