Notes are very similar to tasting in 2019. The notable difference is that this wine has intensified. It seems considerably more integrated and nuanced now. Glad I held onto it for a while.

We enjoyed this wine at NYE with a group of 10 friends. We enjoyed it alongside a 2015 Hoage syrah. I liked them both but for different qualities. The Hustler was wonderfully integrated, gave a lot of depth to go along with the black fruit and earthy flavors. The Hoage was much more dazzling with bright fruits and very lively on the tongue. The best part of enjoying the Hustler was the price I paid! Current pricing online suggests $100+. I paid exactly half that!! Win!
