  I really enjoyed the vegetal notes which seemed to overtake herbal notes this time around. Drank well for at least 3 hours.
  91-92

  At 10 years of age, this seems to be drinking better than bottles near release. Well integrated, a good nose, some fruit and savory characteristics mingle on the nose and palate. To nitpick, it could be just a bit more complex, but for a bottle at it's price point this was a stunner. I hate to let the cat out of the bag, but this may be the best value I have found in the wine world. That said, it doesn't strike me as quite as compelling as my last bottles of the 2008. If you have this, its drinking well, but no rush to finish off. I didn't get any sense it is drying out.

  Second bottle from WineBid buy.
  This showed very much like the first bottle but did not notice the alcohol this time. This was enjoyed by everyone. Not the most complex Syrah, but showed very well at this time. Great right now, and has the stuffing to hold for a while longer.

  14.2% abv. Recent purchase from WineBid.
  So much to like about this. Effusive, smoky, and meaty nose, which also carried through on the palate. Fleshy, unfiltered mouthfeel which I enjoyed a great deal. Good depth and length on the finish as well. The only that kept me from going nuts about this was the sharp alcohol bite on the midpalate that limited my enjoyment overall.
