  Agree with some other posts about dryness but think it is just a style. Maybe holding another year or two will bring out some depth. I've got one more...

  L'avoir payé 25$ j'aurais été déçu... C'est la moins bonne cuvée de Pax Mahle que j'ai goûté.

  Decanted 90 minutes and drank over another hour. This thing is drier than West Texas. Probably the driest CA Syrah I’ve ever had. Not a hint of sweetness. The dryness seems to cover up everything else. There isn’t a ton of flavor layers. There is extraction but more one dimensional. Not sure if more age helps but I think so. Good luck on this one. May the force be with you

  So subtle... There's a brioche /fresh yeast thing and smokiness and fruit there as well. Such freshness. Very enjoyable. I wouldn't say fabulous - just very pleasurable and lively. A touch of mint as well. Very good.

  No rating since we took camping and just PNP. Can’t say I loved it.thought it was thin, tart, green and not really extracted. Next bottle will be decanted to see if it changes. At this point 89-90 at most.
