Wow...neck was plugged by sediment so I was a little nervous that this would be a mess...I was wrong. Inviting nose of complex raspberries, boysenberries, blueberries....concentrated although a very light mouthfeel..integrated layered fruit, no tannins or tar...light spice...very nice in a great window. I've become accustomed to over the top Syrah and this was a pleasant change!

Big surprise. Not really expecting much, but all Martinellis age well. This is superb. Spicy, racey Rhone earthy style - balanced with the fruit....really hitting its stride. POP'ed needed only 5 minutes to come alive. Well done. Still have one left.

Took a minute to open up but once it did the flavors were very robust and kinda tangy but very good all around experience.

Pretty, pretty pretty good. Not quite the 94 I scored it the last time, but Martinellis age well...especially the chardoneys.
