#AgedWineTuesday

Inky in color with a short brick rim.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, herbs, spices, vegetables, black tea, tar, light earth and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 15 year old Washington Syrah is drinking very nicely now. In your face kind of wine. Bold, extracted and definitely delicious.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Robert Parker 92 points. Wine Enthusiasts 93 points.

Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

100% Syrah grapes from Red Mountain were aged in (50% new) French oak barrels for 12 months.

14.4% alcohol by volume.

2007 vintage. From a 3L bottle. Tasted after 30 mins, 1 hour and 3 hours open. Medium body. Excellent color. Not much sed to speak of. Plenty of tannic backing to pair with (still) demonstrative richness. 12.06.24. — a month ago

とてもおいしい。雄斗がワイナリーで買ってきたオレンジワイン。白ブドウだが皮を使って赤ワインのような醸造で作ったワインをオレンジワインというらしい。
赤っぽい渋み、重さがありつつ酸味によるキレもあり。他のオレンジワインも飲んでみたい。 — 2 years ago

Pop and pour. Notes from about 2 hrs open. Hmm, this has darkened a lot in style. Still a touch of incense and red raspberry, but showing much more garrigue and olive tapenade than when it was younger. On the palate: solid acidity and just so giving. Very enjoyable and fun to drink next to a Betz Besoleil with similar age to compare new world--old school with old world--classically-styled. — 2 years ago
