  Decanted for two hours, still beautiful for a 20 year old wine. Little bit earthy not too much funk. It was beautiful.

  Wow, what a find! Seamless, youthful, silky, lovely spicy nose and deep fruit.. A steal at auction for $35 15 years after release!

  Unbelievable really when you think about a $39 syrah purchased over 11 years ago drinking like this. Though these wines were long gone but after doing inventory found them stashed in a corner of the wine room. Still youthful in it's appearance with no cola color on the edges. Plenty of fruit left. No tannins so you do not want to go to much longer with these but drinking really well right now.

  Was worried we waited too long but the wine still had life left--much more fruit than one might expect at 13 years. Quite nice.
