DeMorgenzon
DMZ Syrah
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
The nose shows; big jammy dark fruits with a hint of smoke and burned ambers. Blackberries, dark cherries, plum, blueberries, black raspberries liqueur notes, vanilla, light black pepper, heavily steep dark fruit tea, touch of caramel and mocha with red and dark fresh and withering florals.
The body is medium for Syrah but, the tannins, are dry, firm, meaty and sticky. The structure, length, tension and balance are good but, need a few more years to develop into better. Blackberries, dark cherries, plum, blueberries, black raspberries liqueur notes, vanilla, light black pepper, smoke, grilled meats, dry herbs, leathery, tobacco leaf, heavily steep dark fruit tea, touch of caramel and mocha with red and dark fresh and withering florals. The acidy is good. The finish is nice. It runs ripe, juicy fruit to dry tannins.
Photos of, their Syrah vines on the back of their property. This is where we first heard the Classical music they play to their vines, front property signs, their grounds with the manmade water reserve for irrigation.

Listen, for a sub-$15 Syrah, this is hard to beat. Dark fruit with smokiness and gaminess that only Syrah gives.

Pale salmon.
Red currant and gamey tobacco pilotage nose.
Gamey tobacco jumps in mouth, with tart acidity and some astringency.
Interesting rose’. I like better than a red pinotage. I have yet to taste a pinotage I actually like:(

Not as good as previous bottles, but still good.

Strong oaky and smoky bouquet, smooth blackberry taste, a unique Syrah. Nice tannin that holds on your tongue without overpowering the flavor.

Gamey, oaky, petrol nose with some heat. A bit of a pepper bomb on the palate along with ripe red cherry, cassis, and herbaceous notes. Chewy tannins. Medium long earthy finish.
