2016 Oldenburg Syrah, Banghoek Valley, South Africa (6 x Bottle)

If you enjoy St. Joseph, you'll love this! The Syrah shows a medium purple colour, with a slightly pale rim. Shy at first, the wine opens up with delightful aromas of brambles, black wine gums and mulberries. A light, earthy hint of mushrooms as well as white pepper appears over time. Rosemary on the palate and an appealing hint of vanilla and liquorice create a stunning flavor profile. The tannins are fine but wellstructured and interact with the acidity to produce a slightly spicy finish.
