The 09 Syrah is medium red in colour, with sandalwood spices, olive, rich oak and blackberry fruit on the nose.
The palate shows plush primary fruits of plum and blackberry with mouth filling oak characters that are a sign of the wines youth; the typical Nicholson River tannin structure is evident on the mid to back palate with framing tannins and gentle spices the highlight.
The finish has considerable length with peppered dark fruits and savoury characters.
This is a wine that will age gracefully and continue to increase in complexity over the medium term.
