2016 Alban Vineyards Syrah Seymour's Vineyard

I hate to be an outlier here ...or perhaps my bottle is in a "dumb phase" but I found this bottle to be one dimensional, even after decant and 4-5 hours to finish off
Solid syrah but not the exceptional tasting profile I was expecting given its' pedigree, prior experience with this cuvee, and others' tasting notes.
The Reva. Lorraine, and even Patrina are showing better for this vintage as of now

Decent but fairly one dimensional at this point. Probably needs another 12-18 months of bottle age.
Did open up a bit after about 2 hours but not showing its potential just yet

1998 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Very solid for a 25 year old "village wine". A bit astringent at the get go but a 60 minute decant did the trick.
Very ripe red fruits with a hint of raisin - but not too much to overwhelm
Some brett/underbrush notes at the finish but wine still fully intact
