Pink peppercorn and game meat make for an attractively savoury opening, dark cherry fruit filling things out as the glass opens up. Nutmeg, black olive tapenade and a graphitic edge emerge with time — an altogether moreish cool-climate Syrah perfume. The palate is supple and medium-bodied, dark cherry and blackberry supported by pepper spice, meaty tones and black olive again, before a sheath of chalky tannins wraps it all together and leads to a balanced finish of solid length. The cool-climate charm is squarely in place, and that peppery quality keeps you coming back.
