Significant bottle age has brought great complexity to this herb-infused syrah. Oak and fruit tannins have softened into the spicy forest fruit flavours. Lovely.
The long period of maceration extracted the maximum potential from the skins of the syrah grapes. The wine was stabilised for five months over the winter and then transferred to oak barrels for a year until it acquired the desired complexity. Given the characteristics of this wine, and its ageing in French and American oak, it will improve in the coming years developing new nuances, finesse and aromatic potential. Best after decanting.
