Boekenhoutskloof, Syrah, 2021

Medium-bodied and Really Elegant South-African Syrah from Top Producer. 

Openly floral and peppery, intensely aromatic, you might even call it 'pretty' except that there is also a suggestion of Syrah's savoury character, and lots of non-sweet black fruit at the core. On the palate, there's a touch of oak sweetness but it is mostly clean-edged and aromatic fruit, the tannins remarkably smooth already and elegantly fine-grained. Pure and deliciously dry on the long finish. Medium-bodied and really elegant.

• Aged 18 months in oak barrels
