expressive and characterful with the fruit

It has that iodine-like or fresh blood note I associate with schist and iron soils

ripe and very ripe berries leave a mouth filling impression

But no one would accuse it of an excess of fruit

Te Mata, Bullnose Vintage:2021 expressive and characterful with theTe Mata's 2015 Bullnose Syrah is a wonderfully fragrant, medium bodied wine. Always one of the region's most aromatic Syrahs, it boasts hints of violets, cracked pepper and licorice strewn over a base of berry fruit. The tannins are silky and the extraction modest, so this wine is approachable young but still firm and concentrated enough to warrant cellaring for 5 7 years from the vintage.
