Slightly smoky, the 2018 Syrah Grand Klasse Reserve displays a focused nose with spicy black pepper and blackberry compote before hints of dusty plum and black cherry waft with aromas of roasted herbs. Full-bodied, the Syrah is beautifully balanced, with fine-grained tannins and an elegant and refined finish that brings me back for another sip. Bravo!

Displaying a bold, almost opaque core, the 2016 Syrah Grand Klasse Reserve opens with high-toned red florals and wild strawberry compote, plum reduction and black peppercorn and beef jerky elements. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is expressive and delightful, showing a balanced frame that offers energetics acidity and lifting tannins before concluding with a long, spicy finish. Give it a try.
