Friday, March 16, 2018 - Served to me blind. Intense perfumes of blackberries, black cherries, black spices and liquorice with some iron minerality. In the mouth, sleek and satiny. Seamless. Very New World. Rich and ripe black fruit with a mineral blackbone. Quite primary, it was a surprise the wine was 19 years old, until we learned it was a Dry River. It is consistent with my view that the Syrah was typically the top wine for Dr Neil McCallum-era Dry River, most vintages. Drink or hold (this wine was built for the long haul).
