October 30 Syrah 2020, Matakana, Auckland
Ripe red fruits bouquet, varietal with a fresh raspberry and black currant core, spice and smoky wood scents, youthful and enticing. On the palate a dry wine with a firm core of flavour, tannins, a back bone of acidity, plenty of wood and smoke, and youthful energy. The tannins are abundant with a firm youthful grip - this wine needs time to settle more, flavours of currant and dark red berries offer contrast. Overall a very nice wine that needs time to harmonise more. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030. In the meantime I suggest a high protein dish with green veges.
