Media Reviews

Matt Walls

3 ha, 100% Syrah, 80+ year old vines at the top of the hill around the chapel on loess over granite. Dark, deep, brooding. Aromatically this veers towards the mineral; petrichor and fleur du sel. Sublime freshness, almost like sea air. Full-bodied, but strapped in with tannin. The quality of the tannin is very impressive; highly assertive, almost saw-toothed. But crucially they are ripe and elegant. This is incredibly long and pure. It will take time to come around, but will be superlative. Straight, long, as smart as a whip. Drink 2027 to 2060. 98-100 points
