Dicey Syrah 2024, Bannockburn, Central Otago

An excellent example of what Central Otago can do with Syrah. A bouquet and palate of ripe blackcurrant and dark plum fruits, a layer of violets and peppercorn, a stony clay quartz-like mineral quality, there’s plenty of concentration, but not too much, and a judicious measure of oak. There’s natural firmness and grip with the tannins and acidity, it a young wine after all, yet the length and persistent aftertaste offers a wine that can stand the test of cellar time whilst remaining drinkable on the day of purchase. Best drinking from 2027 through 2033.
