brooding and focused flavors that explode on the hugely long and deep finish

with notions of ground pepper

but this is a super-impressive wine in every way

Mullineux, Swartland Syrah Granite Vintage:2016 brooding and focused flavors thatThe 2015 Granite Syrah was matured for 18 months in 25% new oak. It has a perfumed bouquet of bilberry and mulberry fruit; white pepper and touches of clove develop with aeration. The medium bodied palate offers supple tannin, slight earthiness on the entry and truffle and black pepper toward the lightly spiced finish. This is very classy, perhaps just leaning to the powerful side of Swartland Syrah. Neal Martin
