Cork was in perfect shape and the wine was showing zero signs of bricking. Lots of dark fruits, stewed tomatoes, hints of oyster shells, and smoky game. This has good balance with signs of tertiary notes, but is certainly drinking much younger than its age.

Older Betz is sooo good! Dark dark fruit, a touch of funk, definitely showing its age in the best possible ways. Likely on the back side of peak drinking, but would be fun to try another one at 20 years old.

A bit odd upon opening, but it opened up very nicely. The nose is classic Boushey vineyard, and it's very well balanced on the palate. Good acidity and fruit, but it's starting to get a bit tired. Drink this one within the next 5 years or so.

Much more Syrah funk than the last bottle, which gave it a new level of complexity and excitement. Up a point!

91-92. Does not taste it’s age, drinking quite well. Delicious.
