Planeta Syrah 2001

Sicily, ItalyPlaneta Syrah is coming in to its own in 2001. It has a huge black pepper, licorice root and roasted mulberry and coffee nose streaked with gamey, meaty aromas. Warm round and smooth it slides down easily with plenty of coffee, black berry jam, vanilla, smoky, resiny licorice flavours and a touch of tea and leather. No lack of flavours here but it's big and alcoholic - save for a slow cooked leg of lamb this fall or winter.Tasted: 13 May 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
