Tasted from barrel, the 2016 Syrah (which is 100% Syrah this year) exhibits aromas of minty blackberries, bay leaf and tapenade, framed by a touch of toasty new oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, richly tannic and a bit more taut and compact than the Grenache, with a tight-knit core of crunchy dark fruit. It'll be interesting to taste it from bottle.
