Estimate
Beautiful raspberries, blackberries, toasted spices, brambly herbs, and ground pepper notes emerge from this beauty, which is full-bodied and offers no hard edges, rock star tannins, and a great finish.
Intensely perfumed cherry, black currant, boysenberry, Indian spice and incense aromas... Shows outstanding clarity and energy in the mouth, offering pliant black/blue fruit, candied violet and spice-cake qualities; a sweet cola nuance emerges with aeration. Juicy and energetic on a strikingly long, juicy finish that features well-knit tannins and lingering spiciness.
...very pure scents of fresh blackcurrants, blueberries, violet, sage, iron and graphite. The palate is full-bodied with mineral-laced fruits and loads of spicy accents. It has a firm but ripe supporting frame with juicy uplift and a long finish. What a beautifully balanced Syrah!
