Brothers at War The Old Man Eden Valley Syrah 2023

From a range of vineyards in the Eden Valley region, this Syrah has 10% Grenache included. Maturation is in 500-litre French oak puncheons for fifteen months. 10% of those puncheons were new. Very dark maroon, the nose reveals savoury notes of dry herbs, beef stock, mushrooms, plums and blackberries. An appealingly subtle texture with satiny tannins and a lingering finish, this will be better in two to three years and then drink well over the next decade, over which time the score should rise even further.
