I opened this on Thanksgiving, and it was more tart than I remembered from previous tastings. I cloded the bottle and moved on to other wines. After sitting in my fridge for a week, it smells like prunes, black cherries, and a hint of chocolate on the nose; medium minus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like blackberry sauce and crushed gravel with a long finish. I love this wine, and Nellie likes it too. I will decant this wine for at least an hour the next time I open a bottle. It's much more impressive after a week in my fridge. — 4 months ago
92 points from jamessuckling.com and who am I to argue? 😂 But for sure it's very good, for me. It's deep, quite complex, with some red fruit, but also with a sweet tobacco, clove and chocolate. But the keyword is: a subtlety. — 3 months ago

Full bodied but not overwhelming. Lots of berry textures and the leather/nutty finish is very smooth. I could enjoy this over a broad array of meat and pasta dishes. — 2 months ago
Bountiful of red berries and cranberries no both aromas and taste. Powerful and rich body structure. Well-balanced, round tannins, bright acidity. Long finish and enticing texture. — 4 months ago
うきうきセール2197円で購入したスペイン赤古酒、2003年物。開梱したら何度も痛い目にあった金賞ラベルが付いていたのでヘコんでいたのですが、実はすごい子だった!ガーネット色としなやかなタンニンは古酒そのもの。それでいてしっかりと凝縮した果実味、失われていない膨よかな香りも素晴らしい。樽熟によるバニラ香も堪りません。5千円はする実力だなあ。

Interesting rendition of Syrah from Spain: blind I would say Monastrell - really dark & inky, wafty nose of dark fruit, deeply ripe, smoky, gnarly, as it gained air it threw some cocoa & spices, coffee, musty attic, old books, pepper. Rich broad across palate, touch hot - ripe verging on baked black fruit compote, baking spices. Decent length on finish. — a day ago
