Dense, brooding Syrah with layers of blackberry, olive tapenade and smoky minerality. The palate shows remarkable depth and concentration, unfolding with dark fruit liqueur, cracked pepper and earthy undertones. Firm yet polished tannins provide backbone without masking the wine's inherent richness. The finish resonates with impressive length and floral lift.
