Lake Chalice 'The Raptor' Syrah 2019, Marlborough

Very enticing bouquet with scents of wood smoke and vanilla bean then a core of dark red berry fruits led by baked rasberry and plum. These ideas tranistion to the palate very nicely and with tannins and salivating acid lines to deliver a wine with power and mouthfeel making it ideal for by the glass drinking and food pairing. Anise and clove, wood smoke and vanilla, black currant and red berry flavours with a lengthy salivating mouthfeel. Best drinking from 2023 through 2027+.
