Tasting notes
Saturated purple. Vibrant dark berry and cherry aromas are complicated by suggestions of licorice, smoky bacon and exotic spices. Tightly focused and chewy in texture, offering intense, mineral-laced blackberry, cherry-vanilla, smoked meat and candied violet flavors that become firmer and spicier with air. Delivers a compelling blend of richness and finesse and finishes extremely long and precise, with a solid, mineral thrust and steadily building tannins.

100% Syrah. Cask sample. Intriguing berry nose. Touch of elderberry. Wiry, plenty of driving acidity. Dark, intriguing, floral notes. Unusual Syrah as it doesn’t have either dark-cherry or olive notes. Much more floral, zesty, spicy, fresh and crisp finish. (AWH)
