Illaj Yarra Valley Syrah
Yarra Valley, Port Phillip, Victoria, Australia
Dark ruby. Ripe black and blue fruits on the spice-accented nose, along with a floral nuance and a hint of cola. Plush and open-knit, offering appealingly sweet blackberry, cherry and candied licorice flavors and a touch of smokiness. Discreet tannins come in late on a persistent finish that echoes the cherry note. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, September 2022)

Whole cluster Syrah aged in used French oak. So easy to drink. High toned black cherry fruit and lavender on the nose.

I picked this Yarra Valley Syrah for last month's #thetcwineclub box 📦 as I knew it'd be a fab winter warmer and partner to hearty winter meals. The producer is Jamsheed and the name of the wine 'Illaj' refers to the legend of the Persian king 👑 who discovered the healing powers of wine. In Arabic, Illaj means 'remedy'.
It's a brilliant dark red-purple colour in the glass. From savoury farminess to sweet new plastic and rosé potpourri - it's safe to say this 2015 Syrah is highly aromatic. In the mouth it's full bodied with cherries, tomato leaf and a coffee infused oak finish. Definitely not for the faint hearted and teamed with our pizzas very well!
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy! #tcweekdaywine #tctastingnotes

Nose is great smells of balanced dark fruit and then.. woah. Highly sweet and tart with a lip smack of confusion. Not expecting that sweetness.

#leoncircle pick. Not my favorite (notes of leather and mushroom), but I learned to come around to it.

Пыль, джем из ежевики и черешни, темная слива, стружка горького шоколада, красное яблоко, ультралегкий уксусный тон. Аромат сиропный и утяжеленный. Полное тело, объемное и вместе с тем подтянутое, молодые, но не агрессивные танины. Во вкусе добавляется сироп солодки и сок лимона, хорошо интегрированный, добавляющий сочность и напряжение общей органолептике. Вкус значительно интереснее аромата. 16,5/20

Just ok. A little too jammy for my taste but Syrah isn't really my wine. Nailed the dinner... roast turkey breast (seasoned all sides with ground pepper, kosher salt, all purpose seasoning and rosemary... cooked 375 for 1.25 hrs .. don't wait for popper to pop), yams and simple kale salad.
