  drinking excellent right now. Pop and pour and really nice funk on the nose. If tasted blind might be pegged for a CA syrah. I wish I could find more of this wine. Drank with someone who had consumed all of his earlier on and he was sad that it had blossomed into this kind of wine. Sometimes patience pays off.

  Very nice. When I drank this a couple of years I was a bit put off by the high acidity, but it seems to be a lot more balanced now. Don't think that it will improve a lot, seems to be as good as it gets now. Price-quality quite ok.

  Opened. Tasted. Recorked. Tasted again 5 hours later. Wine has ripe dark fruit nose and maybe a hint of cool-climate Syrah spice. Some new oak detected. Palate is austere, lean, very high acid. Like, it tastes acidified austere. Fruit never came out. Tannins are firm but not overpowering. I wonder if the fruit is lurking or if this is just doa. The acidity sure isn't going anywhere...
