Reyneke
Reserve Syrah
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
The nose reveals beautiful, ripe dark berry mix. The fruits are creamy and candied. Dark currants, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum, blue & purple fruit mix, dark chocolate, mocha bar, caramel, black licorice, asian spices, leather, tobacco, some nice oak notes, saline, alluvial soils, dry crushed rocks with fresh & withering dark floral bouquet.
The body is medium full with strong, dry, powdery tannins. Ripe dark berry mix. The fruits are creamy and candied on the palate as well. Dark currants, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum, blue & purple fruit mix, dark chocolate, mocha bar, caramel, black licorice, asian spices, clove, tough leather, dry tobacco, some nice oak wood plank, saline, heavy presence of alluvial soils, dry crushed rocks with fresh & withering dark floral bouquet. The acidity is excellent. The finish is nice but, again, will take 5-7 years to flush out, soften and integrate. 91 with potential for more down the road.
Photos of; their beautiful mountain view from their Cellar Door, flowers on their grounds, our wonderful host Lizanne and the entrance to Reyneke.

Aromatisk med fin följsam bukett. Finkornig i munnen med mörka bör och bigarråer och en uns järn.
