An unmistakable animale on the nose and on the palate, ringing out a distinctive Southern Hemisphere terroir. Undergrowth, black currant and nutty spice. A broad beam of tannins frame a medium-bodied gem that’s built to last. Superb.

Cool to drink this next to a Cornas. So young and will be fantastic in a few years.

Way to young & completely shut down. Needs at least 3-5 years in the cellar or open the bottle two days in advance. Very much Northern-Rhone style.

all the usual cliches--meaty, gamy, feral--but this is South African Syrah and it's pretty fucking good.
