I think this wine may be past its prime in 2021. The texture is smooth and supple like 9 years will do for a wine, but it tastes of overly stewed prunes. I normally love Onx wines, so I'm assuming it was just my bottle or perhaps this vintage has seen better days.

Having tasted this on many occasions, this wine showed very poorly most recently - but didn’t strike me as significantly flawed in any way. The petit Syrah has taken over and the structure of this once lovely wine was in shambles.
Hopefully my this bottle was slightly off - but I wouldn’t wait too much longer if you have some in the cellar.

Decanted 1 hr. Not much nose. Consistent, smooth, lively tastes of darker fruits & cherries. Well balanced blend. This bottle aged well.

I scored this 91 on night one. After resealing and refrigerating the bottle for 48 hours, we drank the remainder. I scored this 92 on the final night.

Great wine, beautiful structure and deep fruit, nice long finish and sturdy backbone in the petit syrah blend.
