The colour is alluringly vibrant, deepest damson with violet hues. Highly intense aromas of violet, black pepper, boysenberry and hints of liquorice root meld into a hedonistic experience. There is a savoury black olive aroma and hint of chary oak that add layers complexity to the bouquet. The palate is equally intense coupled with savoury spice, plum, floral perfume and an enticing hint of tapenade. Soft velvety tannins give way to a generous but balanced palate and a long, lingering finish.
Young and vibrant now, but will reward the patient Syrah lover...
