Mission Hill Syrah Estate Bottled 2001

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVery spicy, sausage, big black pepper licorice resiny nose with a wisp of blackberry and black cherry in the background. Very dry on entry with a touch of acid showing through. Spicy, peppery, resiny, blackberry, licorice root flavours with a smoky note. All the elements are here for a great wine but it lacks the extract and fruit to carry it through to the finish. Needs a few years yet or grilled meat to tame its dry edge.Tasted: 01 February 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
