  This wine was of course past prime, but still had memories of that Rosenblum greatness of old! It was definitely on the downhill slide, but retained a good bit of delicious fruit. Even at 15.6% ABV, the years had mellowed it wonderfully. Some good memories in this bottle.

  An absolute abomination - especially because this should be a great wine with some age and they seal it with a plastic cork - they should be ashamed. This wine was horrible.

  Very disjointed immediately after pulling the cork. Opened up beautifully after about 1 hour in the glass. Intricate brown sugar characteristics on the nose and palate.

  Stood up to Smoque BBQ Brisket. Super extracted and rich. It bears some resemblance to Rosemblum Petite Syrah. There's no finesse in this at all but its an enjoyable drinker.
