Very bright, youthful purple/red colour, the bouquet dominated by smoked-charcuterie reductive notes and plenty of toasty oak. Luscious, floral, ripe-fruit scents came through later. The wine is full-bodied, very supple and fleshy, gorgeously textured and very complex. Long carry. A sumptuous yet elegant syrah.27 NOV 2020 Drink 2020–2040 NZD 80.00 BOTTLE (STORE)
