Pyren Vineyard Reserve Syrah 2023

Anyone looking for an alternative to our gorgeous bold-as-brass Shiraz from warmer climes, should look no further. From the cooler Pyrenees region, this is a refined, elegant style – black tie compared to Hawaiian shirts – and will impress for many years to come. Dark maroon in colour, the nose swirls through black cherries, spices, plums, mulberries, cold tea and licorice. There is focus and energy to be had here, and the intensity is maintained at all stages on its very long finish. It still has ten to twelve years of providing pleasure ahead of it, longer in good cellaring conditions.
