The Hay Paddock
The Hay Paddock 'Harvest Reserve' Syrah 2012 Waiheke Island
Bold, meaty, peppery and tense boquet of Syrah with aromas of black crurrant and wild berry fruits, crushed fruit and stony soil suggestions, plenty of oak and plenty of spice. On the palate - dry, firm, spicy, youthful, some hay and dried herb layers, coffee and dark rum spices; medium+ tannins and plenty of acidity. A wine still in development, but tatsing very nice right now as well.
