Basket Press Syrah 2023 750ml
Deep, rich black ruby in colour, this is an elegant, classic style of cool climate syrah - peppery, complex and intense. On the nose, a cascade of white peppercorns, black cherry and ink mingle with lifted violet aromas, all underpinned by hints of an attractive wild game character. The palate is vibrant, rich and deep, with ripe blackberry and blackcurrant, charred cedar and spice. Polished fruit tannins combine with a concentrated purple violet roundness to give a long satisfying silky finish.

Like their Pinot, this is reduced on the nose but it doesn't hide the sheer exuberance of fruit beneath. Blueberry, bramble, plum – not so much black-pepper spice, perhaps due to the hot vintage. Grainy tannin interwoven with fresh acid and the core of black fruit binds everything together. Plus there's a meaty, ferrous tone that speaks of the earth and undergrowth. Elemental. A new Syrah to add to the top ten – but you need to wait for it to reach its peak.
