April 13, 2021 - Coated with dregs, the bottle was almost opaque. The nose is all but gone, leaving a bit of alcohol burn and cherry. The palate is incredibly smooth though, with most of the tannins left coating the bottle. Notes of dark cherry and plum coat your mouth in this very drinkable syrah, betraying the alcohol on the nose. Drink this now as it won't be getting any better.

May 5, 2018 - A little out of balance showing more concentration, but also displaying nice mature fruit notes. Tapenade, black raspberry, mint, cola and licorice. A nice QPR, but nearing its end. Drink up.

February 13, 2016 - Drinking great right now. Blueberry, smoked meat, olive, a hint of mint and a nice cola finish. No decant. Served at cellar temp. Drink now.
