Acclaim
“The purity of fruit on the nose is really something, with violets, lavender, sandalwood, light white pepper and white roses. Medium-bodied with totally integrated tannins that give a silky texture and a long finish. A pure Syrah with lots of class for the vintage.” — James Suckling, Aug 2024
