Smooth and concentrated Syrah here. North Island beauty. Deep black fruits, truffle and pepper, fine tannins and long as hell finish. Silk and power. The wine is a winner.

A brilliant wine. 1 of the top 10 wines this year for me. A plum infused minerality...... Rain on a hot bitumen road". A powerful persistent yet balanced palate showing great ripeness but not overdone. Most tasters would not pick this as NZ - more probably Australian. This wine would compete favourably in any International Shiraz competition. 18.5+.
