With an inky purple colour and a tantalising, tangy loganberry aroma, this is showing the beginnings of that glorious, soaring perfume that makes Syrah so irresistible when produced under absolutely perfect conditions. It has compelling complexity: clove and Stargazer lily top notes, juicy red fruit in the middle and rich, beefy savour underneath. On the palate: fabulously intense loganberry and redcurrant fruit, zesty acidity and beautifully refined, supple tannins. Supremely elegant, this has the balance to be cellared, but it's going to be awfully hard to resist drinking it immediately.

Press Review
93/100 - A very ripe syrah with some baked blackberries, dried herbs and dark spices. Very full-bodied and loaded with silky tannins and juicy black and blue berries. A broad-shouldered red with lots of concentration. Drink or hold.
Press Review
92/100 - The 2020 Lot 8 Syrah is a bit shy and doesn't have the aromas the variety can develop in cooler years. It's only 13.5% alcohol (a little higher in this warm year) and has a medium to full-bodied palate with abundant, slightly dusty tannins and a dry finish. Drink 2023-2028

Syrah treat!
Big and fairly rich though it’s medium bodied. Speaking as a self confessed Syrah fan this was a real treat as all the usual components are on display but vividly in technicolor in this wine ! I found intense flavours of raspberry, black olive, hints of stone, real coastal freshness, beautiful tannins and a creaminess too. Very difficult to resist but luckily for all of us here to enjoy!
