Well past prime - not corked / spoiled or anything, just tired and too old. Slight orange hue on the color, muted and somewhat indistinct nose, no acids / tannins left and fruit significantly fallen off leaving a more earthy and flavor profile with quite a short aftertaste. Was probably quite decent say 5-7 years ago as an inexpensive entry level Hermitage area syrah based Rhone wine as it still clearly has structure, is balanced and there are no real off putting tones or flavors but at this point way over the hill. Cannot recommend this at all.

Popped and poured. Surprising amount of fruit still here. Rustic in overall flavor, tannins resolved. A bit old, but still enjoyable

Tasted "off". Didn't get any better after sitting for an hour or the next day. Ton of sediment.
