January 15, 2023 - Was a little tight on first Coravin, noticeably better on second Coravin a week later, and about the same when opening the bottle fully the next night. Overall great stuff in the great tradition of Lillian syrahs, but would still benefit from a decant...

January 12, 2023 - Ruby red in color. Holding very well. Aromas of red fruit, pomegranate, blueberries, cinnamon stick, wet stone. Only opened about an hour so we’ll see how it evolves. Palate is very smooth and lively, good acidity still remains. Carries the red fruits and spice well. These wine’s continue to be gems with about a decade on them.

January 2, 2023 - Fantastic balance. Mature now, but no way near getting tired. Very complex with dark fruit and some tertiary aromas.

July 15, 2019 - Dinner with Maggie Harrison (Antica Terra / Lillian), Drinking her Great Wine + Great French Wine (Formento's - Chicago IL): Lots of black plum, berry cherry, savory spice with charming perfumed notes in very complex combination. Long, powerful and balanced all the way through a very long and impressive finish with elegant tannins. Comes across as less ripe than most Central Coast Syrah, but certainly still ripe enough. Fantastic and alluring now, probably with upside. My co-WOTN with Chave 1998 Hermitage.

July 15, 2019 - Dinner with Maggie Harrison (Formentos - Chicago, IL): A fantastic nose with smoked meat, bacon and smoke fully integrated with moderately ripe black fruit. Great balance and persistence on the palate.
