A glossy deep red in colour, the nose has bay leaf, crushed tarragon and a ferrous note to blackberry and black cherry fruit that is true to the Syrah moniker.
The wine is medium bodied, there is an undercurrent of eucalyptus and iodine that gives a baseline for punchy black fruits with a savoury edge to have an impact, roasted meats and drying tannins frame the finish along with driving blackberry. Such a complex and interesting wine.
