Very refreshing siting by the pool at Capo Faro winery. Citrus, yeasty, and a candied aroma….perhaps butterscotch. Crisp on the palette with a nice acidity. — 2 years ago
Inky in color with a short purple rim. Not showing age at all.
Fruity nose, but not very pronounced.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, spices, dark chocolates, light vanilla, coffee, black pepper, earth, tobacco leaf and herbs.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 10 year old Syrah is starting to drink nicely now, although still very young. Rich, extracted and definitely in your face kind of wine.
Needs a few hours to open up. I gave it 2 hours in the decanter, but it was not enough, and unfortunately it finished too quickly.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
Big, bold and beautiful.
