This Syrah is deep and vibrant crimson in colour, with wild raspberry, blueberry, cracked pepper and hints of vanilla bean on the nose.
Powerful, ripe tannins give the wine great structure. Oak plays a supporting role to the wine's pure fruit expression.
This purity combined with refreshing natural acidity means there is excellent potential for ageing.
Development of mineral, gamey characters will result from bottle-age.

Unfortunately I cannot leave a comment on the 2017 vintage as it has been removed. I did order the 2017 and all order confirmations stated this but I was sent the 2018 vintage. I am really disappointed because I was specifically looking for the 2017 and I could have looked elsewhere. I have been given a 15 discount but I dont feel that truly makes up for it.
