Not decanted. Deep, virtually opaque purple red color to the rim. Intense aromas of clove, cinnamon, plums and berries on first whiff. Later this settled into why I consider classic SL PS - plums, some cassis, blueberries, mint and blood. Deep and fruit-filled on the palate with no tannins to speak of. Less oak than I recall from other vintages. Moderate finish. Nice wine.

Even more disappointing than the last bottle, great color, but closed nose, hints of anise and lots of tar which blew off, touch of blueberries. Medium to light weight (and this is a petite syrah!), this had no finish. Pleasant as a quaffer but nothing else. Drink up.

I love aging Syrah's and this proved my point. In a great spot right now. Gorgeous Syrah fruit.

Tremendous classic petite syrah. It is our standard for the grape.
