Decanted for 30 minutes, drank over 1 hour. amazingly full bodied and tannic for its age, with a dark color. Dark fruits reflect the Syrah, mostly fruit and little earthiness. Firm tannic backbone. Very enjoyable. Very well built wine.

The second-best of a trio of 10, 09, and 07. Terrible cork. Decanted for half-hour. Nice fruit, lovely structure, and at the far edge of its plateau. Drink now.

Similar to my note in 2019 -- In a good drinking spot right now. Silky texture and beautifully integrated.
