An intense attack of red fruits followed by spice and cedar. The palate shows moderate alcohol but good extract of weight. Tannis are obvious but well rounded and ripe. Length of spice on the palate is impressive. A more balanced and perhaps more feminine style of Syrah showing delicate flavours and an overall finesse not see in many Syrahs from warmer climates.
