Comment on: I-Latina Syrah 2009
The first thing we noticed was how dark this was in the glass. We took this to be a good thing and it turned out to be the case. On the nose powerful, brambly and with a whack of almost overripe fruit. In the mouth, initially pepper and then wintry spices and some tobacco. The alcohol doesn't dominate and the tannins are smooth. Overall the taste is warm and comforting, like a big hug from someone you love. For a relatively young wine there's good persistence (must be barrel ageing).
But then...just when you thought it was all over (and we wouldn't have been annoyed if it had been) late, late on there's a a palate-cleansing wash of vanilla to complete the happiness.
We're hooked so there's more on order.
