"Deep ruby. A kaleidoscopic bouquet offers black raspberry, dried flowers, minerals, mocha and smoky minerals. Fat and silky on entry, then more taut in the middle, with superb energy to its deep, almost decadently rich red and dark berry flavors. Completely stains the palate without giving any impression of weight. An element of pungent floral oils lingers on the long, sappy finish. Walks a fine line of richness and finesse; Duncan says that "if New World syrah goes too far then it's just clown shoes." There's only 11.8% alcohol here!"
