2004 Boekenhoutskloof Syrah

Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Thursday, September 3, 2015 - Dark cherry colour.
On the nose there is a sweet minerality with a faint hint of must/old oak.
On the palate there is sweet fruit and the alcohol protrudes a little.
It's pleasant and comes across as a southern Rhone wine rather than what I recall from previous bottles.
In their youth these Syrah's seemed more rhone syrah in style but this is more shiraz than syrah.
Still a nice wine and quite moreish but not the style I was expecting.
