I think we’re past it’s prime. You get the funk and rot and can kind of see that it was likely decent, but we’re too late. Doesn’t have much left to it aside from being light, tart, and funky.

2018 La Sirena Syrah Barrett Vineyard

As with all Heidi Barrett wines, this one evolves beautifully. At first nose, sweet and oaky. Oak carries through bottle, in fact. As wine evolves, you get notes of bacon, spice & herbs, fruit, both bright and dark. Tannins the whole way. Really nicely done - can’t wait to taste it down the line, but it is wonderful now.

Pretty good Toro at this price point. Needs a bit of time to open up. About half an hour in: notes of wood, classic Spanish fruit, cola. Medium+ tannins. Would buy again.
