Not quite as good as the ogt. Fruit forward style and the structure was not as solid as the ogt.

Birthday wine. Hitting all the cylinders in this magnum. Can’t wait to start opening more!

Out of a magnum, great crowd pleaser. Excellent with brisket.

Somewhat closed aromatics even after 2 hours aeration, but rich, ripe, explosive redfruits and dark fruits, some tannins remain, long finish, very fine Syrah!!

En magnum. Cork was a little off, I’m pretty sensitive to it, rich, ripe, Syrah and Grenache, medium-long finish, would have rated higher if cork was pristine.

En magnum. Lovely older redfruit aromas and flavors, nicely ripe, good balance, the Grenache adds some mineral notes, very good!!

Strange wine 🤔, has the great nose of an Alban or Washington Syrah but tastes like a sweetened Caymus & Austin Hope
