Stonecroft Crofters Syrah 2019, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay
Really attractive bouquet with aromas of dark raspberry and fresh black currant, violet and blue fruits, fresh black pepper and brown wood spices. On the palate - firm textures with abundant tannins and a back bone of acidity, flavours of dark berries reflect the nose then clove and and toasty wood flavours then pepper. Balanced and well made, firm, youthful and fresh. Best drinking from early 2021 through 2025.
