Not much has changed since my last noted from 3 years ago. Good cool climate syrah.

{cork, 13.5%} Chatters' note sounded good and I can see many of those spicy savoury qualities, with some remnant of cherry and cranberry fruit. But this is all overlaid with a light dusting of TCA which permeates everything with s gentle mouldy character. Such a pity.

Game of Rhones (Carriageworks, Redfern) : sulphur, funky, cream, leather, vanilla, black fruit, slight cab mac prettiness. Nice nose…juicy and fleshy with much o the same as the nose on the palate. Chalky tannins. Pleasant

Harmonic and well composed nose. Maximum medium-body... Classical tones but in a outstanding package. I´m usually not really fond of syrah so this was a fine surprise.
