"It offers a succulent and concentrated finish" (Suckling)
"Bright, deep purple color and heart. Young notes of peppery black fruit, blackberry, fresh meat, bay leaf, and sweet oak. The palate is quite full-bodied, with an already round texture, notes of freshly crushed berries, licorice, pepper, and a long, fleshy finish." (Andreas Larsson 2023)

About wine:
It needs to be aired! But once that damp smell has dissipated, which it eventually does, the wine is spicy, fresh, dark, and guttural. A touch of wild mint and molly draws fresh, undulating lines through the purple, tea-tinged richness of the fruit. Lavender and a slight hint of farmyard, but it works. Complete.

About wine:
A lively, energetic, and succulent Syrah, revealing notes of black cherries, blueberries, grilled meat, and a few roasted peppercorns on the nose. It is medium-bodied, with fine tannins and lively acidity. Bright and agile, it offers a succulent and concentrated finish. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now or cellar.
