84/100 35

Light, supple and peppery Syrah with a silken smooth texture. Unusual and distinctive wine with a savoury, nutty character adding extra interest to red berry, plum, floral and herbs. Beware the wax-coated screwcap - I managed to slash my finger trying to open the bottle.

Tasted: Sep 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: n/a
