Community Tasting Note

  • evanqian wrote: 94 points

    November 4, 2023 - A Syrah night in Kampai (Auckland CBD): 83% Semillon, 15% Sauvignon Blanc, and 2% Muscadelle. Deep gold/brown, honey, dried apricot, rich and succulent, solid acidity, full body, obviously alive and full of vigour. all balanced and very long. It's amazing nearly 70 year old! though I expected a little more density.

    RVF 19

    Ap 5/5, Ar 13/15, Palate 17/20, Overall 4+5/10
    Total 94/100
