Place of Changing Winds - Harcourt Syrah - 2021

The reason the POCW folks went to this vineyard was for the syrah, this being the first of the releases solely from this site, from a singular year. Very floral in the perfume, violets and lavender, whiffs of eucalyptus and loads of raspberry, cherry and strawberry, in a fog of scent too. Lots of concentration to taste but with a glossy wash of acidity under the tart red cherry, game meat, dried herbs and white pepper characters. Beautiful flavours, fine, satiny tannins, great extension of flavour, a cool, minty finish. Spot on medium weight fragrant and spicy style. 94 Points Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
