Ampersand Syrah 2024

At this stage, this is my pick from the Ampersand range. From the Frankland River region, the colour is an opaque maroon/purple. The nose exhibits notes of chocolate, leather, mulberries, bay leaves, blackberries, smoked meats and beef stock. A juicy style which is well focused and seamless throughout, there is a line of bright acidity through to the very fine powdery tannins on the persistent finish. This is a wine which is certainly not lacking in power. It should handle the next ten to fifteen years without a hiccup.
