Passage Rock Syrah 2020, Waiheke Island, Auckland

Red berry fruits and dried herb, some pepper qualities and a mix of barrel spice and clay soil qualities. Nicely complex and youthful. Flavours reflect the bouquet with dark berries and raspberry, some plum then sweet wood flavours. Some smoke and spice layers in complexity with tannins and acidity delivering freshness and mouthfeel. Well made and quite lengthy with best drinking from 2023 through 2027+.
