Just beginning to get to the drinkable age with tannins starting to soften and mellow. The wine is still quite rigid though the balance has come back into play. BlackBerry and plums finish with green bell peppers and spicy peppercorns. Five more years and it’ll be great. — 7 years ago

2013 vintage. This one is about as good as it gets. Wonderful nose with plum , cherry, and floral hints - blueberry? Beautiful balance on the palate. Minerals and oak. Lingering finish- wish I had bought more than a case. — 9 years ago

Just a special experience. The nose was powerful and dynamic evolving beautifully over 30 minutes. A smokey phase, a pine phase, and a strong floral phase. The palate was balanced and smooth. The fruit was dead but resembled fruit leather. Two bottles opened, one had grip left, the other didn't. #moutonrothschild #grandcruclassé #2ndgrowth #bordeaux #pauillac #1928 #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

Very well made, drinking very well right now. It's pyrazine driven and the nose is a fajita: roasted bell pepper at its peak.

Nice smooth body 😉.
Jokes aside was shocked how good this Syrah is. Full bodied, chocolate covered in cherries (yes that way around) with a hint of cherries covered in chocolate mixed in with some plums (tastes like ripen in plum barrels?). Good intensity!

Goes well with spicy food , it stands it's ground in regards to density and volume. And taste. love it!

Dark ruby red with a purplish hue. Good dark fruits on the nose with some forest floor and truffles. Light bell peppers in the finish. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Lots of soft dark fruits and damp leaves. Medium plus finish. Great restaurant wine and solid Sonoma Cabernet. Drink till 2022. — 9 years ago

For the price point, this Big Dog can definitely hunt! Soft pepper and smooth tannins, slight black cherry make this a winner with Ferrero Rocher and House of Lies. — 11 years ago
