Tasted blind.

Cool climate Syrah nose noticed initially. Purple flowers, dark fruit, some va, and spice/ whole bunch/carbonic aromas. But the color of the wine and the fruit profile was a bit darker. There was also a red apple skin and chocolate character picked in the smell and taste. It seemed a bit more savoury and wild than Syrah by itself. A bit bigger/riper with more tannin than I usually see for this style of wine but still plenty of acid. I called "natural" Syrah with Mourvedre from Adelaide or an early picked Barossa.

Full of spice and tangy red fruits. Slightly earthy, savoury stuff going on too. Pulls you back in after every swig. A wine packed to the rafters with pleasure.

Beautiful fragrant smell on the nose followed by great spicy flavours to taste with a good finish through the purple berries
