(at One Great George Street, Westminster, 13 Mar 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2024
This has a deeper, more savoury character than the Lone Birch label Syrah, with a lovely black cherry nose and voluptuous black and red fruit on the palate. There is less obvious vanilla here, but more grip in the form of velvety tannins. Great intensity and balance.
