  Final bottle, last had this wine about 2 yrs ago.
  I feel like this full-bodied wine is getting a bit tired as it ages, and to add insult to injury, there is unfortunately some cork taint on this bottle.
  Drink these up.

  Delicious GSMT blend. Ready to drink now, showing bright red cherries, old leather glove, tobacco, soil and even raspberries.
  Very nice, big ole red, love HS wines for value and deliciousness factor. Drink now through 2023.

  Viscus murky dark garnet color. Aromas of blackberry syrup and alcohol. Earthy blackberry and leather flavors with some tannin on the finish. High octane.

  Drank alongside a Sine Qua Non Raven syrah (that was a treat!). And let me tell you, this held its own quite impressively. I would say that this score (93) would be within one or two points of the Sine Qua Non.
  
  The H.S.Casual Encounters is a GSM blend, and showed a bit more fruit and a touch more "New World" style than the Raven. This wine is drinking wonderfully right now. Decanted about 30 minutes, enjoyed over the evening. Fabulous full rich round wine.
  
  Damn I wish I had more...
