Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 92+
The 2015 Syrah Topside has a lot of reduction on the nose, and this suppresses the brightness and fruit expression. The palate is better with succulent tannins, a keen line of acidity and an attractive black pepper note on the finish. But it feels "hemmed in" by the reduction. Note that it does respond to aeration and develops more freshness and vigor. I just think this needed a longer decant and if so, would achieve a higher score. Tasted blind at the 10-Year-On horizontal in London.
Anticipated maturity: 2027-2035

Natural cork. Tasted blind. Quite a bit of life to this wine. Chewy end but I m struggling a little to see the Syrah-ness. There s a future though. It developed well in the glass. (JR)
