Central Coast, California, USA
Ok, but a little “worn”. The fruit was a bit burnt & raisiny - I’ve had other 08’s, that were better, but this one was a bit weaker.

Smooth, with a nice finish. Fruit still there after 11 years...but balanced. Happy New Year!

The 98 drinks more like a Pinot now than the petit Syrah it was, although always it was a wine of greater subtlety and finesse than any petit Syrah I know. It's lighter than a Californian might be but in the Burgundian style it is probably tilting the scale toward fuller body, reflecting an American terroir within that style, or so I speculate. I have adored every stage of its maturation and it is hard for me to say when it gave the most.

2005 David Bruce Central Coast Petite Sirah - tastes great but has this awful jersey shore (dirty salt water) nose - hoping it opens up

Feb 18th, 2014I think I waited too long with this wine. I should've drank this earlier.
