Bullnose Syrah, Hawke’s Bay — 2021 – Wine Advocate – 94+ Points
94+ points
“The 2021 Bullnose Syrah gives us Asian five spice, musk, red dirt, gravel and blueberry on the nose. There’s a distinctly darker fruit character on the palate, with red licorice, pomegranate, savory and gentle meat nuances. This is fleshy but with energy and finesse. Matured for 16 months in French oak (33% new), it’s almost creamy, with hints of cream soda and sarsaparilla, and there’s a spice/blood root character. This wine achieves that aspirational balance between sweet fruit and savory tannin.”
