This 2015 wine is a deep, brooding, inky burgundy. Plenty of fleshy, bright fruit on the nose, with wood smoke, violet florals and savoury notes of olive tapenade and fennel. The palate is medium-bodied, quite light on its feet and has great balance for a structured wine with deep complexity. Perplexing. A get-to-know-you wine, with layers and branches that double back on each other, forming connections as you spend time with it.<\/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<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4dc9c4d\" data-id=\"4dc9c4d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f160c65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f160c65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It\u2019s complicated \u2013 in a good way. The flavours of archetypal Hawke\u2019s Bay Syrah are all present\u2026 with plum, cassis, bramble, blood orange and savoury mocha, tobacco, graphite, spiced with green peppercorn and star anise. There\u2019s an extra percent to this version though, and I think the key to it is the tannins \u2013 supple, yet just tight enough to show an indication of the great future ahead. They round out the textural quality that defines the back of the palate and leads to the long, opulent finish. <strong>95pts<\/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>Church Road\u2019s first Syrah release in the TOM series, their pinnacle winemaking.
