| Description: | 92+ pts Wine Advocate May 2024 The 2020 Syrah bursts with a succulent and elegant profile with spicy florals and dark red fruit notes that waft from the glass. The palate is balanced and refined, showing a medium-bodied wine with 13.5% alcohol. It finishes spicy, with lingering flavors of ripe black cherries, flaunting what cool-climate Syrah can achieve in South Africa. It was made with 50% whole-cluster Syrah grapes. Bravo! 2023-2032 91 pts Tim Atkin MW 2022 Meaty, stony and still quite youthful, this Elgin Syrah is showing some reduction on the nose, but that should disappear over the next year or so. Taut, racy and refreshing, with tapenade and vanilla spice notes and a backbone of savoury tannins. 2023-27 4 ½ Stars 2023 Platter's South African Wine Guide Vibrant 20 (91 pts) from Elgin a true cool-climate expression, with fragrant violet & lavender, red plum, white pepper & fynbos. Elegant, good texture & presence in lifted spice finish. 50% wholebunch in 16% new oak, 14 months. |
