Score 91/100 · Drink 2018-2022, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Feb 2019

Wonderfully fragrant—almost perfumed—the 2016 Bullnose Syrah is loaded with violets and peppery spice notes. Never the biggest Hawke's Bay Syrah, the 2016 shows just enough red cherry and raspberry fruit to support those other elements, some silky tannins and a ripe, mouthwatering, licorice-tinged finish. Drink this vintage over the near term. It's entirely destemmed fruit from the Bridge Pa subregion aged in 37% new French oak for 15-16 months.
