A delicious surprise ! This twenty year old bottle is from the woot tours and is inscribed by Peter Wellington: To Julie Glover the golden palate. My beautiful wife won this bottle by correctly identifying the tasting test. Thanks to Peter for making a great syrah to be aged.

Popped and poured. The cork was very dry and crumbled apart. This seemed to affect the wine, which while overall fairly good, had a slightly oxidized, acetic bite. Fairly light on its feet despite the 14.5% alcohol, this has good structure and a sense of minerality. Red-fruit driven, with some secondaries. A bottle in better condition could probably sail on for awhile. $17 WB

Solid bottle and cork. Consumed over three days with no degradation, best on day two.

Decanted an hour or so. Mid-weight Syrah with a bit of black pepper and slightly plummy flavours. Doing nicely, drink or hold.
