Passel Estate, Lot 71 Reserve Syrah, Margaret River 2017

Select rows of hand-picked fruit, whole cluster ferment and matured for 16 months in large format French oak puncheons, 40% of which were new.

Dark red in colour with purple hints. A bouquet of black cherries, graphite, baked orange and cracked allspice. A focused and elegant entry on the palate defined by poised acidity and cherry skin tannins. Richer flavours of black plums and ground cacao underpin an otherwise lithe expression of fruit and floral aroma. Wet slate laced with succulent red fruits and lingering tannin on the finish.
