My last bottle (of 4 that I bought 9 years ago) of an odd Syrah. The funk has finally started to mellow.

Magnum, haven't delved into this vintage/wine for a couple of years and was impressed by how this wine could be near its peak

Still drinking well. Lots of dark fruit balanced by savory Syrah notes.

A bit of an odd stewed fruit funkiness to this. @romo is this the FVRR we had issues with previously?

Magnificent. A true Rhone style Syrah with California complexity. Wish I had a few more bottles in the cellar.
