Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. Dry on the palate with nice complexity. Showing red and black fruits with cedar, licorice, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, must and peppercorn. Long finish with fine grained tannins. This 24 year old Syrah is still delicious, but on its last leg. Smooth and elegant. Fruit forward and tasty. This Single Vineyard is good right out of the bottle, and better with food. I did not decant it, and it didn't last long. I had this vintage a year ago, and it lasted much longer. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. 10\/11\/2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCellarTracker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright color, but nearly opaque at the core, with a wide gradual rim of beautiful garnet, just a bit of red brick on the outer edge, no orange or brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpens up steadily, fruit building to a crescendo of blue plum, blackcurrant, dried raspberries, tiny tart wild blueberry, tamarind, overripe blood orange, but the main event is a gorgeous olive note accented by thyme, lavender, violet, tobacco, cured meat, so many vague spices and herbs, clear suspicions of smoke and black pepper...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTangy and full on the palate, prominent fine-grained tannins, there's a fair amount of grip here but layers of dried dark fruit, olives, spice, flowers gush over the structure in waves, touches of citrus and high toned dried herbs lend brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDynamic through the finish, tangy, herbal spicy and savory flavors reverberate, a resinous herb note pulsating past everything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have to imagine that well stored bottles will continue to evolve positively for at least a few years, but I think the tannins may perhaps never fully integrate and this beauty will one day dry out dramatically. That might take a while though. Stupendous stuff tonight. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e1\/29\/2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"THE PENMAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52041150988568,"sku":"AH24187-5297","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/5302\/9400\/files\/thackery_orion_1998_a.jpg?v=1778303623","url":"https:\/\/chapfour.com\/ja\/products\/sean-thackrey-orion-old-vines-syrah-1998-ah","provider":"CHAPTER 4 | FINE + RARE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
