Appealing, fragrant, generous
Another appealing vintage of the 1884 Syrah, the 2018 is directed by fragrant black raspberry, vanilla, liquorice and white pepper atop candied violets and bay leaf. Equally engaging the mouth it has a supple weight and generous sweet fruit layered with peppery spices, cocoa and vanilla, and finishes with a good measure of clove. Overall balanced and thorough but sill youthfully compact.
A solid partner for game meats, roasted wild mushrooms, aged cheeses and cheese fondue.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper
