| Description: | 4 ½ Stars 2022 Platter's South African Wine Guide Always impressive, 19 (94 pts) brooding & plush mulberry & dark plum, a violet perfume & lingering black pepper finish. Well-structured &-wooded, 20 months, 15% new. Hand harvested, wild fermentation, basket pressed, like most of the reds. 93 pts Tim Atkin MW 2021 Bigger, bolder and more compact than the straight Stark-Condé Syrah, this comes from a single block planted in 1991 at 360 metres. Fermented with 20% whole bunches, it's meaty, tangy and appealingly reductive with some ginger spice and violet top notes and grippy, focused red and black cherry fruit. 2023-29 92 pts Wine Advocate July 2022 Beginning with a dark ruby core and soft magenta rim, 2019 Three Pines Syrah offers a dark-berried and floral aromatic array with firm yet juicy essences of black plums and spiced cherries with crushed black and red peppercorns. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is bright and food-friendly on the palate, with energetic acidity and fine-grained tannins that continue to uncoil and unwind before leading to a focused, brilliant finish. Bravo. This beauty has me daydreaming of lamb chops and grilled game meats. |
