X Wines Basket Pressed Syrah 2020, Marlborough

An elegant bouquet with a core of varietal red fruit aromas, is quite floral and has a delicate seam of spice and minerality. Raspberry and preserved cherries, some red apple and violets, gentle almost softly spoken spices of clove then lees and quiet fragrances of wood. Equally delicious on the palate with a satin texture, fine tannins and a back bone of acidity. Elegant and stylish with a core of fruit flavours that mirror the nose. A polished finish, textured, well made and ready from 2022 through 2028+. Excellent value here - be quick!
