Cameron Douglas MS writes "Complex, enticing, varietally perfect and filled with a bouquet of fresh dark red berries and plums, a core of mineral-laden tilled soils, layers of new and used oak, a natural ferment reductive complexity and suggestions of perigord and field mushroom. Equally complex on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet, an abundance of fruit and barrel tannins offering chalky textures and structure. A back bone of acidity ensures age worthy qualities as well as freshness and mouthfeel. Complex, dry and delicious."
Candice Chow writes "Full, deep purple, lighter on the rim. The nose is pronounced and lifted with pure aromas of blackberry, black raspberry and plum melded with jasmine, violet, black pepper, spice and a hint of truffle. Full-bodied, blackberry, black raspberry and plum aromas entwined with violet, jasmine, black tea, unfolding truffle, black pepper, spice and meaty, savoury nuance. The fruit is concentrated and pure, enlivened by fresh acidity, lifted with good energy. A dusty tannin grip reflects black tea and floral fragrances, and lingers to a very long, pure finish. This beautiful Syrah is lifted with an ethereal expression, possesses pure fruit and floral nuances, integrated with sweet spice and savoury details on a silky, effortless palate."
