From Mag... given some of the reviews from years ago, was very worried this would be really tired... but still had a bit of acid in it, still nice fruit with some leather, the 4 of us were very very pleased!!

Blind Red Wine Tasting (Plymouth, MN): Dark in color yet without much structure remaining. This still sports a fruit-forward palate. For blind tasting: I guessed Bordeaux, 88 pts. 3rd place. Marianne: Zinfandel, 86 pts. 5th place. Overall 3rd out of 8 wines.

Well, this has been disappointing syrah week. Great dark purple color in this glass. The nose has nice raspberry, spice, and toast. The palate is a let-down. The fruit recedes, it's very one-dimensional, and there's a bitterness to the finish. I'm hoping this is just a bad bottle.

Soft and lush, with acids just barely balancing. Drink now.

Fruit, acids are very good for an 11-year-old wine. This is drinking very well.
