WTN: Two '05 Syrahs...(short/boring)

Tried these two Syrahs last night:
1. Novy Syrah Page-NordVnyd/NapaVlly (15.2%) 2005: Dark color; strong blueberry/blackberry/Syrah light toasty/pencilly/Siduri oak/smokey attractive nose; quite tart/lean/metallic/tangy light blueberry/blackberry/Syrah rather pencilly/smokey/oak flavor w/ some astringent/angular/tried-out tannins; med.long lean/tart/metallic some blueberry/Syrah pencilly/oak finish w/ rather tangy/angular tannins; quite a nice nose but rather tangy/angular on the palate & seems to be drying out already.

2. Jaffurs Syrah SBC (14.9%) 2005: Very dark near black color; very strong boysenberry/blackberry/Syrah/ripe rather peppery/pungent/smokey/roasted/licorice/RCCola some toasty/charred/oak complex nose; bit tart very strong blackberry/boysenberry/Syrah/peppery/spicy/ripe rather charred/toasty/oak classic SBC Syrah flavor w/ firm/hard tannins; very long rather hard/tannic strong blackberry/Syrah/boysenberry/spicy/peppery/ripe strong charred/oak finish; a pretty classic SBC Syrah but may never come into balance w/ the tannins.

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Typically, Adam's Page-Nord Syrah is my least favorite of his single vnyd Syrahs...it just doesn't seem as interesting as his other Syrahs. I've had some, however, that have aged into pretty good Syrah. I liked the nose on this one a lot, but iit seemed to be drying out and pretty tangy/metallic on the palate & don't think more age is going to help.

RC Cola! Now there's an arcane reference. I remember the brand from childhood but believe it went out of production--notable in our family because my younger sister was a Cola-holic who would spend her allowance on a stash of colas just for her, and RC was her favorite and she was bereft when they stopped making it. I didn't care for soft drinks at all so am unaware of what stood out in it, but you must have been on Donna's wavelength at some point in life to recall that so well!
