Score 91/100 · Drink 2024-2029, Angus Hughson, Vinous, Feb 2023

The 2020 Syrah Liandra offers a more reserved and understated expression of Clarendon Hills with violet and peppery aromas plus a gentle stalkiness over fleshy, dark berry notes. Juicy and vibrant, more tar and chocolate flavors emerge with slightly firm tannins that will fill out in time. Give it five years to peak.

Blackberries, olives, asphalt, and ink on the nose. Full-bodied and muscular. Flexing. Reserved and focused. Flavorful and intense. Give this two or three years to open. Serious. Try after 2025.

This wine comes from a single vineyard, with 25-year-old vines. Very pretty nose! The 2020 Liandra Syrah shows hints of bergamot and black tea, floral and fennel spice. This is a gorgeous wine—supple, excellent. I love the tannins, which are pliable and flexible. This is the Eden Valley Shiraz of McLaren Vale: mineral, dark and thrilling. It is stylistically quite different from the other Clarendon Hills wines, and I love it for that.
