Description

The Talisman label has become widely known for its secretive Bordeaux blend, but a Syrah has also hit our shelves, showing similar levels of outstanding quality. With 40% new barrels for 18 months, winemaker Miles Dineen has done all he could to tame the sumptuous fruit profiles of the outstanding 2014 vintage, this Talisman a triumphant release we're pleased to offer our customers. Bottled unfined with only a light filtration.

Smells

Lavish bouquet of liquorice, blackberry, cracked pepper, violet and cedary spice.

Tastes

Weighty and concentrated with a classic grainy texture, exotic spices and a long, complex finish. The tannins are succulent and melt away, leaving a long, silky smooth finish. Immensely satisfying and elegant, it's still a baby but starting to hit its stride now at 4 years old. Savour it over the next 8 to 10 years with venison or other lean red meats.
