October 21, 2023 - Syrah Young and Old (Winchester): The nose - oomph. Cut grass and citrus and so much going on. Will the palate spoil things? No! Lovely acidity, still lively but the acids are in line and there’s an almost richness to it. Sone discussion at the table - evidently these can be a lottery with premature advancement or even out and out pox. We had a winning ticket with this one. I think my #2 wotn.

This cost (DP) about £16 a bottle more than the Ferret 2020 Hors Classé (@ its DP price) and, given a choice, I'd go for the safer(!), cheaper(!!) option and get the white Burgundy.
