Clarendon Hills Brookman Syrah 2016

” Lots of blackberries, plums, chocolate, and grilled rosemary notes emerge from the 2016 Syrah Brookman Vineyard, followed by a wild jus de viande- like character as well as beautiful richness and depth on the palate. Full-bodied and nicely concentrated, with both acidity and tannins, it’s another gorgeous wine from this estate that benefits from a decant, will improve over the coming 3-4 years, and evolve gracefully for upwards of two decades.”

” Very attractive, deep-set complexity of pepper, grilled meat and hard brown spices. Crushed stones, dark berries, citrus fruit and plums, too. The palate has a deep, dense feel with velvety, suave texture at the edge and such intense, powerful fruit. Power and suave texture is a great combination. This really showcases what the Vale does so well. Try from 2023″
