It leaves nice legs on the side of the glass when swirled. This wine has a strong aroma of berries and black currant. The first sip tastes strongly of black currant followed by some pepper flavors. The thickness that I noticed when swirling it in the glass, transfers elegantly to the tongue. This Syrah feels silky and substantial as it moves around my mouth.
Black currant remains the dominant flavor as it continues over the tongue.
The wine finishes very long and tannic, leaving the tongue pleasantly dry and slightly warm with a residual pepper taste. What makes this wine so nice is the amount of body. This wine feels thick and meaty on the tongue. It feels more substantial than almost any other Syrah or Shiraz I have tasted of late. Its flavors are very concentrated, almost overpoweringly dominated by black currant.
