For the very first time, a small portion of Syrah has been bottled separately.
The result is an gorgeously scented wine with violet, blueberry, white pepper, herbs and spice, deeply intense flavour and a lovely backbone of full, fine tannins enhanced by saline minerality.
Elegant wine here. Though it says 14 percent on the bottle it feels more svelte, spicy and fine boned, and there’s plenty of flavour packed in. I like the bouquet, redolent of exotic spice, briar, the red berries, and how it replicates in that silky glide across the palate. Lovely wine.
