  April 20, 2024 - Day 1: one of the best Reynvaan wines of this decade and that is a big statement. Green olives, tar, stone, white pepper, blue currants and dried meats. Long finish and super complex. Thankfully have 2 more bottles. 95+ points.
  Day 2: A touch better. Exotic spices, green olives, tar, white pepper, dried meats, perfume and blue fruits. Super balanced and smooth wine. This does not have the funkiness of some Rocks wines and for sure very Rhone like on this one. 96 points
  Recommendation: Seek out via auction and buy!

  April 5, 2024 - Day 1: Wow wine. When you think best Syrah in the world for under $80 you have Reynvaan in the top 5. This is awesome. Exotic spices, blue fruits, floral, white pepper, lavender and just amazing stuff. 96 points.
  Day 2: Left the cork off all night and still amazing experience. Potpourri, green olives, Lavendar, white pepper, blue fruits and minerals. Long finish. 96+ points
  Recommendation: This wine is amazing and will drink well through 2032.

  October 12, 2023 - Day 1: Wow on the pop and pour. Green olives, white pepper, flint, stones, floral, spices, mild smoke and blue currants. This is an amazing wine and bought at auction for an amazing price. Thank you Napa Valley for not buying these world class wines for under $60. 95 points
  Day 2: We have a winner! Amazing power on this wine and intensity. Green olives, white pepper, flint, dark fruits, smoke, earth, roasted meats and cherry. LONG finish. Super complex and one of the great values I have purchased in my life. 97 points
  Day 3: Still solid but day 2 peaked. White pepper, dark fruits, earth, smoke, some red meat and floral notes. Medium plus finish. 93 points
  Recommendation: If you can get this for $55 like I did buy, buy and buy!

  December 31, 2022 - Double decant. Blueberry, Raspberry, Orange rind. Meaty. Gorgeous savory briney syrah. Lovely stuff.
  
  Even better on day two.

  September 6, 2022 - One hour decant. Very very deep magenta color. Black cherry, burnt ends, orange rind, Triscuit cracker, and slate on the nose. Very smooth, dry, ever so slightly glossy palate, with fine, satiny acidity. Round tannins, with good intensity, on the longish finish.
  
  This is well made, but much too savory for my palate. I can appreciate the quality winemaking.
