Stonecroft Undressed Syrah 2020, Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay
Fantastic colour - bold, purple and bright. Equally bold bouquet with dark pure fruited aromas of black berry and black currant, dark raspberry jam and sweet meats. Delicate almost fine barrel spices and crushed violets. Complex and interesting. On the palate - juicy, fleshy and fruit centric with contrasting tannins, barrel spices and acidity. Fruit flavours mirror the nose, youthful yet fine tannins with a chalk-like texture, stony soil flavours and a lite lick of salt. Lengthy, balanced and well made. Drink now and through 2025+.
