2018 Stonecroft Gimblett Gravels Reserve syrah

Price: $60 Rating: Excellent

Boldly fruited nose, a wisp of brown paper evolves to fruit, savoury notes and a musk/ dark flowers nuance. Density to the dark fruits, adding cedar, savoury notes, spices and black pepper. Chewiness as the tannins build. With aeration, a tight core of mineral/iron develops as the wine becomes tightly coiled. Excellent carry and great promise.
