Crown Range Cellar Patrick Leon Syrah 2012, France

Complex and layered bouquet with distinctive aromas of place and time, soil and fruit, spice and meat, dried flowers and season. On the palate - firm, complex and dry. Flavours of a developing wine with dried berries and spices, very earthy with stony mineral complexities and dried herbs, bramble and sage, rosemary and baking spices of wood. Length finish, still developing, but also ready to enjoy with gamey foods. Best drinking from today and through 2024.
