Bottle-aged to perfection, this delicious 2013 syrah is showing especially well and has plenty of gas left in the tank. It walks that palate line of savoury / sweet fruits with real aplomb and shows exceptional finesse on the finish. Gorgeous.
Hints of cinnamon and black pepper lend spice to this unctuous, concentrated wine. Ripe black-plum and and blueberry flavors are dense and weighty, offset by brisk acidity and nuances of game and violet. The finish is bold and long, framed by fine-grained but persistent tannins. It should improve through 2028 and hold further.
