The nose is perfumed and aromatic, with violet, damask rose, redcurrant, damson, acacia and blueberry \u2013 and a lightness of colour that defies the power. Possessed of a natural beauty. In many ways, it\u2019s a simple wine, but intense and confident with fantastic flavour purity. It dances on your palate defying any requirement for a tighter structure\u2026 as it shows a core of fluidity &#8211; sensual and hypnotic. Tannins and acidity are restrained, poised, and will knit into perfect harmony given a bit more time in the bottle. Umami, savoury, but with a delicate sweetness that balances &#8211; white pepper, black tea and tapenade versus rosehip jelly, nutmeg and dark, bitter chocolate. The finish is slightly drier, with a deeper, liquorice and leather note, but goes for miles. This needs to come in bigger bottles. <strong>97pts<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From a small hillside vineyard on Roy\u2019s Hill, Hawke\u2019s Bay \u2013 one of the Syrahs on the \u2018Fine Wines of New Zealand\u2019 list for 2020.
