Lost in the cellar series. The cork was soft, friable, and I had to push it in, then mesh filter to the glass. Dark translucent garnet color. Jammy nose, with cherry syrup and eucalyptus on the palate, lingering to the finish. It survived, but it was on the downslope.

Similar notes to previous tastings though the nose started out a bit funky but came around. However, the big vibrant fruit in the flavor was a surprise for this 15 year old syrah.

Well balanced wine with a smooth medium to long finish. Blueberries, licorice and some earthiness in the nose. Blackberries, currants, licorice, and some spice in the flavor.

Beautiful bottle. Nose of bacon fat, black olives, blue and black fruits. Medium plus body, beautiful black fruit, slate, black olives almost Hermitage like. Different than most of my Martinelli's and some earlier descriptions of this wine - more balance and nuance. 92 points

Nice nose, but this wine tasted rather vegetal.
