Seems to be mature but not at all dried out. Should drink well for another 5-7 years. A very enjoyable wine but although this is made from Chave fruit it would never be confused with a Chave from a taste profile standpoint. 50+12+13+8+8=91

Not much experience with older Rhones but I thought this was drinking very nicely and could go a long while longer. Glad I picked this up at a school auction for a great price

Showed beautifully with great body and intensity while still being complex and not four-square. Black fruit, smoke, meat - classic N. Rhone syrah.
