Mission Estate
Mission Estate Winery VS Vineyard Selection Syrah 2015 Hawke's Bay
Youthful, ripe tense and spicy bouquet with aromas of black currant, a touch of dried herb, white pepper and oak - these elements will merge over the coming 12-18 months. On the palate - dry, firm textures, fruity and youthful - flavours reflect the bouquet with medium+ (ish) tannins and plenty of acidity providing backbone and tension. A youthful wine with potential to cellar and drink well from 2017 through 2020/2024.
90 Points
