Description
The Tamboerskloof John Spicer Syrah 2016 has a medium ruby colour. On the nose plum and wild bramble aromas are followed by charming violets and fynbos with spices and black pepper also prevalent. The entry is youthful with an amazingly generous middle palate with loads of texture and fresh acidity. The follow-through of fruit from nose to palate is excellent. The finish is powerful with great oak integration and new leather and tobacco notes. A powerfully elegant wine.
