Doing some cellar “rearranging” (mostly Rhone/Tempier,, yep, found a box of mostly 1995s of the latter!!) in the cellar this past hour or so (why am I sweating like a greased old man pig?? Oh yeah, because I’m f’n old!!!) — anyway, moving a dozen ++ boxes or so yielded some interesting wines, some older Eric Texier Brezeme VV (2001?), some CdPs which I’ll post another day, and a bunch of 1995 Domaine Tempier, all of which we’ll try and post!! And, specifically, 1990 Clos des Papes CdP, hopefully they’re still rocking!!!
Anyway, this 2020 South African Syrah is quite fine (I think my first South African Syrah ever, so please be gentle @Dave), lovely redfruits, clean, balanced, medium-bodied, longish finish, quite good, actually!?!!
