Cape Landing Reserve Syrah 2019

The style here moves more to delicatessen meats and animal hides, rather than bright and obvious fruit notes. Those who enjoy quality Rhone wines will not be unhappy. Maturation in French oak, barriques and puncheons, with around one-third new for this excellent Margaret River Shiraz/Syrah. A crimson, mauve colour, we also have aromas of red currants, plums, leather, miso, aniseed and milk chocolate. So, perhaps the wine is more the link between typical Aussie styles and those from the Rhone. However one decides to designate it, it is a cracking wine. There is balance and a lingering and quite intense finish. Good energy here, the wine will offer pleasure for at least a decade.
