Tasting notes
Rich, dense, compact nose with a hint of blood and meat. Sweet oak influence, wonderful fruit clarity, full body and long, intense finish. Intense and powerful stuff, with a genuine need for bottle maturation to allow the primary fruit to evolve into a more complex flavour range. (RH)

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Mclaren Vale Syrah gives a profoundly scented nose of plum preserves, blueberry tart and blackberry preserves over notes of Indian spices, beef drippings, menthol, licorice and cloves. Full-bodied and packed with taut, muscular fruit, it gives layers of spicy, perfumed blue and black fruit flavors supported by grainy tannins and finishing with a satisfying savory character.
