2012 Paul Lato Syrah The Last Kiss

Lato's dessert wine, the 2012 The Last Kiss checks in as a fortified blend of 90% Syrah and 10% Grenache. It has a lovely, perfumed bouquet of creme de cassis, blackberry jam, licorice, chocolate and roasted herbs to go with a medium to full-bodied, elegant and silky feel on the palate. It's not a blockbuster, but shows the hallmark purity and elegance in all of Paul's wines. Drink it over the coming couple of years.
