2018 Vidal Legacy Gimblett Gravels syrah

Price: $79.99 Rating: Excellent

Wild & funky nose, struck match, earth, growing perfume, fruit in support. Juicy and crunchy, bright acidity lending a zesty tang to the close. This grows with aeration, ripe fruits mixing with toasty and savoury nuances before growing tannins add a lightly chewy note to the close. Its approachability makes this easy to overlook yet there’s deceptive interest here.
