Note not taken. Initially not decanted, but since tight then decanted 40 mins.
Look: Brick red to tawny '03 color. Nose: Earth, experienced spices, blueberry, boysenberry, some blackberry. Taste: Spices, blueberry, boysenberry, cedar, some blackberry, a hint of eucalyptus but very hidden away. Very smooth and nicely integrated for an older cult wine. 91 pts. Best decanted and ideally enjoyed with food (beef roast, BBQ slab done on the grill with some herbs). Drink now.

($80) Ryanco 15th Anniversary: Rather high-octane, somewhat Turley-like, but a little lighter tone to the fruit. The alcohol stands out some too. Okay. Certainly not worth the price off the list.

Definitely at the end of its run, but still delicious. If anyone has bottles left, you should drink NOW.
