  June 12, 2021 - This has held up extremely well. Decant for 45-60mins. Fruit still present, tannins still present. Boozy backend that you get used to. Drink now with air, no rush.

  April 30, 2018 - Notes over 36 hrs. Started with a whiff of sulphur and menthol but morphed to old leather, still ample blackberry at first but giving way to persimmon and fig. Pick up some alcohol up front, has a bit of weight but no heat on the finish. Was better on day 1 tannins remain heavy and chalky. Was best at about 3hrs open, the extra day didn’t help but rather detracted. This was a wine that I thought might integrate nicely when last tasted 8yrs ago. Yet it just is what it was, an OK Syrah.

  April 29, 2017 - This one had held up pretty well. Started off with a nose and palate of dark berries complemented with leather. Saved a few glasses for day 2, and the berries were still very much there but were joined by meaty undertones, which seemed to mostly fade away by the last glass. Heat was also noticeable on day 2, but wasn't too distracting. Overall, this was a very enjoyable wine.
