Despite the age difference, the Syrah was dark purple all the way to the edge, while the Cabernet Franc was watery at the edge. We'd normally expect the older wine to be the one with most water around the edge; that's a sign of the aging process. In this case, the David Bruce wine "held up well" to aging.
