Ernie Els Wines - Proprietor's Syrah 2015 75cl Bottle
£ 24.13
A terrific vintage for Syrah where the warmer conditions assisted in an incredibly powerful, yet finely tuned wine. Inky purple with a black core, the nose opens to smoked beef, dense blueberry, a touch of cassis and hints of scorched earth.
The palate is plush and inviting with ingrained dark chocolate, gamey spice and even a hint of black truffle.
The polished tannins appear to be coated with eternal layers of sweet fruit.
The finish is long and clear with a freshness and savoury edge balancing the purity of fruit. Utterly balanced for immediate enjoyment, it will age well for up to a decade.
