Obsidian Syrah 08

$52.15 750 MLS

Obsidian Syrah 2008 (19.0-/20) at 14.0% alc, was 100% Syrah, aged 14 months in 25% new French oak. Dark deep, youthful purple-red in colour, this was still tight, taut and reserved on bouquet. The fruit was of superb ripeness, dark yet with violet overtones, and good spicy lift. A concentrated and powerful wine, this was still shy in expression, but the depth of ripe dark fruits impressed. This seriously structured wine needs time to open out, and will live 10 years plus. A brooding wine from a great vintage on Waiheke Island. RC July 10

Almost Christmas pudding-like with the amount of complex flavours. A remarkable velvety texture with black berries before a smooth peppery finish. Class act. 19/20 AC July 10.
