Vidal of Hawke's Bay
Vidal of Hawke's Bay Reserve Syrah 2013
Ripe, distinctive and generous of bouquet with violet laced raspberry and black currant fruits, baking spices and a hint of bacon alongside toasty aromas show off the impact of the oak, quite complex. On the palate - equally ripe, youthfully firm and complex - packed with flavour. Quite tense and youthful with medium+ fine tannins and acidity yet a wine that shows completeness and obvious harmony as well as a future in the cellars of those who know the potential this wine shows.
93 Points
