A very pleasant surprise. This is serious Syrah. Inviting nose of mystique Asian spices, brambly fruit, animal fur and a big blob of ink. After a sip my palate is coated by substantial tannines, soft and ripe, fine lines of acidity, a wonderful core of fresh black fruit, and an aftermath of garrigue and rocky minerality.
Hats off!
