  Part of a West Coast Syrah night with my wine group. This was the first red of the night, immediately following a Bourgogne-Aligote. I think this suffered by coming right after the Aligote. Later in the evening, with more air, and after trying some of the other Syrahs it was singing. Very savory, compared to the other and younger Syrahs.

  My rating is conservative This is an outstanding wine in all respects. Has aged beautifully. Dark ruby color, full bodied, rich delicious fruit flavors, integrated tannins that cleanse the palate but don’t dominate. I am very lucky to have found this bottle

  Earthy herbal nose. Plum and blackberry on the palate, with a subtle mineral streak. Medium body and good balance with integrated tannins make this a good wine for drinking with a variety of foods or on its own. Drinking well now but will hold my only other bottle for another 2-4 years.

  nose has very light smoke, leather, parlsey and dried fruit aromas. Tight at first for sure, body is medium-, dark color on the purple side. Fruit is light to medium, does develop on the palate with some air and the tartness that was being experienced at first fades off. I put it into the decanter, feeling it was needed. Develops nicely, fruit ripens, brings forward some light floral qualities and has a medium finish. Really nice, I think at just the right age.

  Very Good. This is still coming together and is drinking very well. I still get some polish and impression of oak treatment even though this sees no new oak. Ripe, dark fruit, not overly extracted, very high quality. Smooth and inviting. This worked realy well with a rich cut of Santa Maria marinated skirt steak, grilled.
  
  I have one more bottle and want to see where it goes in a few more years, 2025-2026.
