Boekenhoutskloof Syrah 2016

$102.00

The wine unfolds with a brooding, complex nose—compote of dark berries, black olives, floral violet lift and a beguiling perfume of spice. Blackberries, youngberries and brambles segue onto a full, round palate, where intense notes of allspice, liquorice and black pepper deepen the experience. Focused and concentrated through the mid-palate, the wine remains lithe and somewhat austere, its savory, almost Rhône-like character carried by integrated acidity and fine-grained tannins that promise long-term development. The finish is persistent and spicy—cloves, nutmeg and cardamom—while subtle garrigue nuances add an earthy, aromatic echo.
