  A recent auction buy and a lucky one. The fill was ~3-4cm below the cork, OK for a wine this age but didn't inspire complete confidence. Opened and decanted at service for sediment. Medium ruby color with some definite bricking at the edge. The nose is glorious, classic Northern Rhone syrah - mainly smoke and meaty notes. On the palate, it is a fairly light wine but there is still a hint of raspberry fruit and classic flavors that echo the nose. A long finish and a silky texture. This wine is old, but this bottle was at peak and didn't really fade over ~1.5 hours. Really fun.

  Retained youthful looking good colour. Meniscus the tell. Old Syrah on nose.more youthful than 1983. More intense fruit than the 1983. Excellent year . Good fruit and centre on the body

  Deep garnet w/lighter rim. Nose of very ripe strawberries, jammy. Mouth same, but with rich fruity layer of wood, briary and moderately tannic. Fruity finish of strawberries and tannin.
