Estimate
...a big, meaty, rocking Syrah that's loaded with notions of blackcurrants, gamey meats, tapenade, and leafy, peppery herbs. Deep, rich, and unctuous, with beautiful purity and a mouthfilling style, it delivers serious pleasure yet stays balanced, pure and lively on the palate.
...comes bounding out of the glass like an energetic puppy, sporting loads of crushed blueberries and black raspberries notes with touches of violets, black pepper and black olives with a waft of fried herbs. Full-bodied and packing bags of pepper-laced black fruit preserves, it has a firm frame of rounded tannins and background freshness, finishing long.
Herbal in brushy sage, with thick determined tannins, this is a complex worldly wine, leathery and full of black and white pepper. Soy, meat and tobacco also figure in, speaking loudly back to the spine of acidity.
Sumptuous, rich and explosive, with soaring aromatics and tremendous intensity... Inky red/purplish berry fruit, grilled herbs, chocolate and menthol build into the huge finish...
