Interesting comparison between the Fulldraw and Tynan wine. Both were opened about 2hrs. The flavor profile is somewhat similar between the two, showing chocolate and dark blue fruit for the Tynan and red fruit for the Fulldraw. Great spice and pepper with each. The main difference is with the tannins and finish. The tannins on the Tynan are fairly noticeable (in addition to some heat) while the Hard Point’s are already integrated. The Tynan’s finish is short compared to the Fulldraw and so I’m rating it a few points lower. Still a great wine imo, especially for the price — 5 years ago
Finally had time to pickup my boxes from FedEx office today,
This is another Mike Smith winner, so Close to the Myriad Empyrean, just missing on the nose. Can’t wait to compare this to the Carter Las Piedras when they arrive.
Mags of Hunny Bunny Syrah from Fulldraw were also waiting for me with open arms — 6 years ago

The finish on the Hard Point is incredibly long and luxurious. @Connor McMahon exceptional wine — 5 years ago

Not worth the price unfortunately, its good but not at $165.00 on release and especially for $250.00 retail!
Stick with Top or Fulldraw
Jeb 99 points, if it was $100.00 or less then I would agree, bad QPR
On the other hand the Cabernet ONES is the real deal, competes with high end Napa — 5 years ago
