  A bit tired at first, but slowly woke up over the course of several hours. Showing some interesting secondary characteristics (leather, forest floor...) at the end, but lacking the vibrancy I remember from its youth. Seems like it’s on the downslope...

  Still wonderfully fresh despite the intense ripeness. Black plum, berry jam and liqueur character with sweet spice and good density...just more than hints of sweetness on finish.

  Best syrah in this old mans lifetime. It probably could have used a few more years of aging but I am not disappointed. I am really surprised by all the low scores and can only attribute that to poor cellaring or more likely drinking too soon as most wine is. Dark purple, rich and smooth, blackberry, black cherry and red velvet cake with great balance and finesse. Long on the finish with an almost syrupy texture. Amazing wine.

  Good if not typical syrah. Still had some firm tannins that were well integrated with the fruit.
