Acclaim
The 2021 Syrah Per Sempre is a potent, tightly wound wine. Its freshness and structure are admirable, but readers should expect a wine that will require cellaring. The 2021 is far from the more bombastic early editions of Per Sempre. Savory, floral and mineral notes abound, while primary fruit lies more in the background. Oak impact has also been diminished substantially. — Vinous, Dec 2024
“Lush and wrapped in an embrace of toasty oak, featuring plum, blackberry, blueberry and bacon fat aromas ad flavors. This dense, powerful red finds a nice equilibrium between its components through the fine, salty, mineral finish.” — Wine Spectator, Oct 2024
