Well. Somehow there was another bottle... The cork was excellent and the hue showed no excessive aging. however, this last bottle came across a little tired. Still very tasty, just a couple of years past its prime drinking window.

Last bottle and time to finish this wine. All tertiary at this point but still really pleasant. The hue has turned a bit tawny. The nose has lost some of its intensity. On the palate, the texture is soft but still nice earthy and spicy elements. I will look for a younger vintage.

Still showing very well. Great evolved Syrah character, still remnants of fruit, no undue aged character. Nice to have a Syrah with moderate alcohol and good freshness. Excellent complexity with smoky, spicy, umani elements. Drink soon.

Probably a couple of years past its peak but still very enjoyable. Nice texture, soft tannins, iron, earthy character, some remnants of fruit. Very nice Syrah character in its home region, restrained, balanced style, good acidity. Drink over next year or so.

medium bodied -- well integrated. Pepper, leather - cherry nose. Enjoyable wine that benefited from cellaring.
