Church Road 'Tom' Syrah 2020, Hawkes Bay
A bouquet of power and purity, there’s no mistaking the scents of syrah’s black fruits and baked field mushrooms, black currant and toasty barrel. Violets and baked earth mineral, some peppery spiced meat qualities and stone. The power is in the detail. Taut, firm and dry, a wine still youthful, but has the fruit concentration and acid line to present a wine with potential. Tannins are ripe, firm and polished, oak is abundant and lines up well with the fruit. This is a complex wine that will not disappoint, a wine for the cellar or enjoy with carefully selected high protein dishes. Best drinking from 2025 through 2033+.
