Description
This Reserve Syrah is from the original vine cuttings Alan Limmer famously planted in the Gimblett Gravels in 1984. NZ’s oldest Syrah vines… 37-years old at the time of this fabulous 2021 harvest. Our panel described it as a “beast of a Syrah”, referring to its imposing concentration and mouthcoating fine tannins. It has impressive Rhone-like complexity, its power and structure should see it cellar worthy for 15-20 years.
Smells
Deep, leathery, cassis and plum, with exotic spice and dried herbs and spice… it’s captivating!
Tastes
Super opulent, spicy and concentrated with every dark fruit known to man, coupled with some leathery/earthy nuances. This powerful Syrah ideally needs to be left through 2027+ to integrate its big, ripe but fine tannins; want a sneaky peak first… get a special cut of red meat out, slosh it into a decanter, sit back and enjoy the awakening of your olfactory senses! Hide some in the cellar, pull it out in 15-20 years and serve with a juicy prime cut of beef, it will be etched in your wine memory.
We taste, rate & guarantee every wine we sell.
