Zero expectations for this, as I knew it had a plastic cork and the late 90s B&H wines were dying 10 years ago. Surprise, surprise. No oxidation, fruit is plentiful. However, sweet/surmaturite notes, some heat, not my style. But better than I expected. B-/C+

Unfortunately, there was nothing to this wine ... not a "bad" (ie. corked) bottle, just minimal nose and even less fruit on the palate. Had 2 glasses over 2 hours, just to see if anything would develop ... nothing did. Disappointing.

This was never a great wine, but the plastic cork failed in its simple task this time. Oxidized, game for the vinegar crock.

Nice red fruits. Subtle spice. Bit of a tart finish. Decent.

Very nice syrah, perhaps not in the bold style typical of the winemaker but very respectable. Ours was in perfect condition with the plastic cork.
