The Story
Exuberant and full on the nose with overflowing fruit, hints of cocoa and mint. Meaty and round on the palate, with creamy and fluid tannins.
This syrah shows sweet black raspberry with candied rose petals, sap, cracked pepper, and a subtle meatiness. There's clear varietal character here, and it nicely evolves in the glass to reveal more depth with time, before finishing with moderate length. Well made and correct. Sourced from Don Mauro Vineyard in Elqui Valley.
Serve with red meats.
91 Points - Wine Spectator
Aromatically engaging for the Nyons olive, cured meat and tobacco notes that join the palate, adding sappy cherry and plum flavors. This red’s nice acidity keeps things in harmony on through the finish around fine, mineral-tinged tannins, with an herbal echo that lingers. Drink now through 2035.
