Burrowing Owl Syrah 2003

Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVery dark cherry colour. Big smoky, dried lychee, sausage meat aromas with peppery, licorice root, blackberry jam notes. Rich, round, fat and ripe with blackberry jam, smoky, peppery, vanilla, dried lychee, mineral, gamey flavours with a long, minty, smoky meat finish. Hot (alcoholic) but still a fine effort with a Northern focus. This young brute needs 2-4 years.Tasted: 03 April 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
