April 20, 2016 - Surprisingly better fruit taste than before. Still needs a couple hours of decanting. Still not super impressive - disappointing compared to Garagiste description. A few bottles left in the cellar - wil see if it changes w more aging
October 1, 2015 - same as before
September 25, 2015 - This is a simple entry level Syrah. Not particularly rich or complex, but varietally correct. I paid something like 8 USD for it. What can one expect?
December 11, 2014 - Kinda not good.
December 6, 2014 - Took all day to open up but very nice fruit and full bodied.
December 4, 2014 - At room temperature, it was a bit stewed on opening. Flavors were all over the place, but there is some decent material in there.
September 6, 2014 - This is the second time I've tried this wine, and both times it just came on way too strong, with a jam-like flavor that made me keep thinking letting it decant would improve it. It did, but not significantly. My guests liked the explosion of fruit, but I was happy to pour out the rest and will figure out something to do with my remaining bottle.
August 28, 2014 - Functional Fruit, otherwise unremarkable
April 18, 2014 - Smelled drinkable but wasn't. Down the tra la tub. I think my drain even asked Rimmerman for my money back
