Drink now and don't give it any air. It's falling apart. Most of the fruit is gone, but it's still good. It changed massively and fast after opening. This bottle had LOTS of sediment. Was probably way better 3 years ago, but still enjoyable. The new oak saved it, apparently, but as much as I don't like new oak, it was yummy.
Leaving it to air out it started to turn to plastic flavors. It was very good at the beginning. Air just ruined it. Oh well.

Classic Syrah nose of roasted meat and savory boysenberry. Full mid palate, juicy tannins and a long finish. Enjoyed with rotisserie chicken marinates with Mideastern spices.

Dark red with purple edges. Black fruits, pencil shavings, and alcohol on the nose. Full-bodied, with notes of blackberries, olives, and pepper on the palate. Long, savory finish. Very good.
