Vidal Reserve Hawke’s Bay Syrah 2020

Description

Ripe, fresh, fruity, varietal and enticing bouquet of dark cherry and raspberry flesh, some delicate scents of earth and stone and moderate woodsmoke and baking spices of clove and vanilla. Taut, firm and dry with tannins and acidity setting the foundation with dark fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. Plush, ripe and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027. Excellent. Score – 93. (Cameron Douglas, MS, camdouglasms.com, Feb. 23, 2023)
