Montes Alpha Syrah - 2009 (750ml)

(2009 vintage) "Minty, bay, peppery, savoury, tobacco, black cherry, coffee, liquorice, gamey, leather aromas with a touch of blueberry. Rich, full, round but somewhat astringent and chunky palate. Coffee, blueberry jam, blackberry, vanilla, cedar, tobacco, liquorice, peppery, minty, dried herb flavours. Youthful and a bit rustic but good fruit concentration. Needs a few years to round out or decant now and serve with a rich piece of meat. (Anthony Gismondi and Stuart Tobe)." - Gismondi on Wine
