點擊次數：5986

This is a powerhouse, with a wall of toast that stands between you and the black currant, plum, bittersweet chocolate and espresso flavors for now. Long, muscular, smoky finish shows how much fruit there is here, but this needs a touch of cellaring to shed its "cl-oak" first. Drink now through 2007. 250 cases imported.??–JM??Region: South Africa / Western Cape / Coastal Region / Swartland Select to Add

Aromas are of earth, meat and Indian spice, plus a dash of vanilla. This Syrah picks up some barbecue flavors in the mouth, along with spice and red berry. Soft on the palate, it finishes quickly with menthol and dark berry. Imported by Vineyard Brands. ——M.D.(5/1/2006)—— 87
