Decanted thru aerator and strainer, and drank over two days. Deep, dark purple. Full bodied. Tart, almost bitter at first. Earthy plums and blackberries, with a hint of raspberries and cinnamon. Smoother and earthier the second day, but still a little harsh. Much better than when I had it a few years ago. Not sure if even more time will soften. Good food wine, not for just drinking.

Black pepper, anise, lavender, black fruits, celery in the nose. Smooth texture, black cherries and blackberries, very smooth texture and nice finish. Should go well with memorial day steak

From cellar but not yet input. Splash decanted and drank. I am a HUGE fan of Penner-Ash pinots -- my favorite Pinot. Also really big fan of OR Syrahs, e.g., Dobbes SV Syrahs. Thus, this first taste of P-A Syrah was disappointing. Deep color and full mouthfeel. But middle had dome weird

Still drinking well after nearly a decade. Very soft and luscious with dark fruit. Ready to finish our last bottles off.

Deep saturated colour, sweet fruit nose and palate. Not complex, a bit of a fruit bomb and a little sweet.
