Tasting Note We have not had the opportunity to produce a
Black Label Syrah since the renowned 2002
vintage. Hence we are very excited about this
release – arguably the finest Syrah we have
produced to date.
A wine of exceptional balance and elegance
exhibiting classic spicy, cracked pepper
aromas, enhanced by subtle oak characters
from 18 months aging in French oak barriques.
The palate is generous with lovely soft, ripe
tannins, giving great fullness and length of
flavour.
The perfect wine to complement a mediumrare
peppered steak. Cellar for 5+ years with
confidence.
