Decent wine, still relatively youthful, but doesn’t speak that strongly of Syrah to me. I say this from a perspective of drinking mostly N Rhone Syrah though. Still well made and no signs of tiring at ten years old.

This has changed a lot over the years and is now in a nice place which is less gamey (as a previous reviewer noted) and more deep fruits. But not stewed or overdone. Quite pretty yet substantial.

Still quite fresh. very dark purple and potent syrah. Less gamey today then I remember, but still a wonderful value. Some violets and lavendar. This could still age for at least 5 years - probably 10.

It’s been a while. All of the structural notes are fully integrated, otherwise the flavors match my last note: complex and delicious. Drink now.

Ready on PnP. Dark fruit with a nice layer of spice.
