Frenchmans Hill Estate 'Expatrius' Syrah 2015, Waiheke Island

There’s no mistaking the variety, winemaking style and power behind the fruit for this wine. Aromas and flavours of dark plum and black currant, the oak makes itself know very early on with the bold toasty spice and barrel sweetness, clove and vanilla pod. The mouthfeel is textured with an abundance of fine tannins and baking spice flavours then a backbone of acidity coating the ripe red berry and plum fruit flavours. Complex, lengthy, well made and ready to drink from 2023 through 2033. The power and intensity of this wine also means it will continue to develop if left in your cellar till 2025 - such is the quality.
