Last minute decision to bring this bottle to a BBQ restaurant so no time to decant. Cork pulled upon arrival and glasses poured. The first sip was buried under a cloud of barnyard funk that took 10 minutes to blow off. The color was a dark purple. The aromas are of dark red, blue and black fruits with just a whiff of coffee and chocolate. All of these follow on to the medium plus bodied palate, along with spice and earth, but with the dark red fruits coming to the fore. The acidity is balancing and the finish is relatively long. A well-made wine that has hit its decade mark in stride and will continue to delight drinkers for some years to come.

Of course, my last bottle and this wine is at its prime. Great fruit with no rough edges. A truly delightful wine.

Another great TH wine. Not as tarry as most of their Syrah. Definitely ready to drink

Drinking really well right now. I would not age more, but consume.
