Note di degustazione
Overflowing with elegance and varietal purity, the 2019 Syrah Sequel offers a crystalline and focused nose with elements of dark cherry, baked earth and dusty flowers with a harmonious and floral lift from 30% whole clusters. Full-bodied and clocking in at 15% alcohol on the label, it doesn’t seem as heavy-handed and bold on the palate. The wine demonstrates considerable restraint, exuding elegance and finesse with succulent red fruit and subtly spiced potpourri tones. If you’re looking for a big, beefy Syrah with black peppercorns in your face, this is not it. However, if you're looking for a floral, fresh, elegant style of Syrah, look no further! Just over 25,500 bottles were filled after the wine rested for 18 months in all French oak, 65% new. Give it a try!

Musky black currants, dried violets, grilled herbs and mocha can all be found as the 2019 Syrah Sequel smolders up from the glass. This is a textural animal, velvety-smooth with sleek contours and polished ripe black fruits. It leaves a staining of primary concentration and subtle coating of fine tannins that remind the taster of just how young this is today. Blue and purple inner florals slowly fade. The Sequel was fermented using 35% whole clusters followed by refinement for 18 months in 65% new French oak. (EG)
The 2019 Syrah Sequel is a big, rich, meaty, powerful beauty offering copious amounts of ripe black fruits as well as ground pepper, chocolate, graphite, and spicy oak all soaring from the glass. It packs a punch, as always, with its ripe, sexy style, yet it shows the cooler, elegant style of the vintage beautifully and is balanced, has ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's going to cruise for 10-12 years in cold cellars.
Aromas of dark berries, ground pepper and leather. Full-bodied with chewy tannins. The palate is rich, but there is lift and good definition within the fruit profile. Nuanced. Black licorice and spice.
