Mission Hill S.L.C. Syrah 2002
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSpicy vanilla, mocha, blackberry, black cherry, smoky garrigue and chocolate pudding aromas. Round, dry, slightly tannic, tight entry with boysenberry, licorice, vanilla pudding, mocha, black cherry, peppery sausage flavours. Dry, slightly elevated acidity with a smoky, peppery finish. Fine fruit and French in style but appears to lack mid-palate concentration at this point which could be a function of young vines. Solid effort.Tasted: 01 February 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $29.99 | 750ml | Winery, Mark Anthony Wine Marts, Private Wine Shops |
