Tasting Notes
Stephen Tanzer 92+
Good full red. Less open and expressive on the nose than the Sur Echalas Syrah, hinting at blackberry, pepper, brown spices and dark chocolate. Then juicier and more delineated than the Sur Echalas but still with plenty of texture and breadth; also darker in its fruit character and a bit less rich and sweet. Finishes with firm tannic spine and a touch of youthful bitterness. I wanted a bit more sweetness but this very young Syrah needs more time in bottle to harmonize. Soil-driven, salty, high-pH Syrah with backbone. (13.8% alcohol)
