Timo Mayer Syrah Yarra Valley 2012

Red
Yarra Valley, Australia
8.0
WineSaint

Dark, brooding and intensely mineral. Blackberry and bitter cherry saturate the palate with serious weight and concentration. Silky tannins build gradually, providing excellent structure without overwhelming the fruit. Star anise and floral lift emerge with air. The finish shows sharp mineral focus with impressive length. Built like a northern Rhône with real aging potential.
