Not sure if it's just past prime or prematurely oxidized, but it was certainly in the pruney/raisiny part of the spectrum and the colour had started to brick. Given that it was still a fairly good showing with some of the more expected fruit and meat coming out, but I'd hoped it had more life left in it.

Undrinkable. Too old and got worse as the evening progressed. This was part of a 6 bottle library wine grouping purchased on Berserker Day. I'm hoping for better from the other bottles...

(Cabot Vineyards Syrah Humboldt County) Very dark red violet color; appealing, bacon fat, smoke nose; smoke, tart black fruit, bacon fat palate; medium-plus finish

Picked up within the past 2 years from the winery. Last visited almost 4 years ago.
Bacon fat, iron, menthol, blackberry and pepper. A little chewy, long, long finish.
Still a favorite domestic syrah producer even if a little past prime.

NOSE: "dark"; band-aid brett; concentrated black olive.
BODY: medium bodied; dark color.
TASTE: strong brett; smoky like a rauchbier; maybe a hint of TCA; somewhat of a trainwreck, but was able to enjoy it by pretending it's a rauchbier.
