2-hour decant. Opaque dark red color. Faint aroma of roasted meat. Intense on the palate, blackberries and roasted meat, some blueberry. Fine tannins, slightly sharp acidity, good balance. Finishes long and spicy with black cherry notes. Not faded at all but has lost some complexity since my last bottle 2 years ago. Drink over the next 3 years.

Dark red color, no fading. The nose shows black cherries. Luscious, intense fruit, black cherries, blueberries, charred meat. Light cherry notes on the midpalate. Fine, firm tannins, great acidity and balance. Smoother with air. Finishes long, dark fruited and peppery. Probably needs 4 to 5 more years to develop and will drink well for 10 years. I'd suggest a 2 hour decant. The Beckmen Syrah and Syrah based wines age much better than their Grenache based wines.

Nice dark coloring with no bricking on the rim. Nose with lots of cherry and a hint of raspberry. Some vanilla full bodied with the tannins having dropped off. Delicious
