The most open one out of the Single-Terroir-Syrah Range. Huge amount of black olives at first, red cherry, ash and dust on the nose. Nice acidity & good structure with a medium-body. Very, very mineral aftertaste. Still needs time in the cellar to fully open up. Well done @Andrea Mullineux & @Chris Mullineux!

Testas blind och tyckte verkligen den smakade Sydafrika. Bra Syrah-toner med salami och några drag med pepparkvarnen. Friska mint-toner och torrt avslut. Så välsvarvad denna! Sydafrika och Swartland <3

Floral my goodness. Potpourri and violets and light fruity flavors. Light spice and tannins be gone. Almost unrecognizable as most syrahs you know.

Mer tillgänglig än ’16. Taninerna är lite mer avrundade och det blir lite mer elegant.

Frisk rosbukett, mörka körsbär, svart te, torkade kryddor och torra tanniner.
