Details
The opaque, garnet-black core offers the first intentions of this gutsy Syrah. Its sweet nose shows pronounced boysenberries, kirsch, black olive and hints of star anise. Concentrated black fruits balance phenomenal intensity and power, all checked by chiselled, layered tannins. This impressive modern style dances the tightrope of ripeness and elegance. Rather closed in its rambunctious youth, time in the cellar will add further breadth and tame the grippy tannins.
