PnP, was good right out of the bottle. Didn't really appreciate much improvement over time - maybe because it's already been in the wine cabinet for 10 years. There was some restrained dark red fruit on the mid-palate, and the tannin finish was moderately strong, but balanced, and restrained as well. Really nice bottle. Would definitely buy again. (I noticed a prior reviewer mentioning that there was too much Syrah in here for their taste. The label said there was 17% Syrah only - can't say I agree with that comment on either an objective or subjective/tasting perspective.)

Really nice wine. Poured one glass through the aerator and one without. I could tell a big difference between the two- with the non-aerated glass being a little greener (tight, more under ripe berry taste). This opens up well into a small oaky flavor, but not too much. Wish I had more!

Enjoyed this wine while dining at Black Market. Could have used more time, but then I was eager to try it and therefore couldn't wait.
