One of the best cool climate Syrah wines I have ever tasted. On opening, the black pepper notes jump out, but there's so much more going on here... Rich, blackcurrant fruit, dark chocolate and truffle undertones... The palate is sublime, with ample fruit weight and delicious moreish acidity. The length on this wine is just singing, the fruit, oak and acid dancing around each other and sustaining for at least a minute after each beguiling taste. This wine will age, but perhaps it is best now while it retains it's primary fruit and acid components. Outstanding and criminally underrated.
