Santa Rita Floresta Petite Sirah Syrah 2003
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileTasted several times this year this 70/30 blend of petite sirah/syrah is improving in the bottle each time out. The nose has a massive peppery, licorice, spicy, vanilla, cinnamon aroma mixed with saddle leather, iodine, smoky oak and floral black cherry jam aromas. Rich, ripe, fat and concentrated with ripe tannins. On the palate it is similar with big black pepper, licorice, coffee, cola, black cherry jam flavours and a minty, meaty finish. Very fine length and concentration if a touch warm. It's been aged in new French oak barrels for 15 months. Should cellar comfortably for a decade.Tasted: 19 November 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | speculative - Mark Anthony |
