Hayne Vineyard Petite Syrah

So, an older one. Supposed to be good. Upon opening, it was completely unassimilated. Strong leather and tar, some fruit but also acidity. Not great. Then, as it sat, the less desirable qualities softened and the dark fruit came forward. I'll drink the rest tomorrow to see if it gets better (Parker says 2011-2045), but it turned out alright...
