Highly advanced color, looks more like palo cortado sherry than Syrah. Nose is still alive with fruitcake, dried fruit compote, a hint of iron.

Subtle spice, dry herbaceousness, light anise, lacking the classic smokey bacon fat, yet prominent blue fruits and bright acidity

Color is fading from brick to orange, mature aromas of saddle leather, meat and some smoke, just a lovely older Cote Rotie, time to drink up.

1994 vintage - mahogany in color. Subtle spice and licorice in nose. Nice rounded finish

Oxidated. Perhaps bad keeping.
