Showing volume and body with elegance and restraint, this headily perfumed and enticingly refined medium-bodied cool-climate Syrah is the result of an assemblage of sixteen individual small batches.
Leading with an intense flurry of white pepper and spiced plums, the evolving complex nose also offers a dark mélange of tapenade, za’atar, cardamom, cloves, oregano, pomegranate, vanilla, baked earth and wood ash.
The palate delivers poise, presence and weight with a plush definition and resolve. Fruit intensity redolent of dried figs and fruit mince pies washes right through to a deep and resounding finish, suggesting flavours of with a subliminal Campari-like bitterness tempered with a building resonance of flavour and gravelly tannin.
