Comment on: Camplazens Syrah 2008
I first tasted this some time ago when it first arrived. I thought it was sharp, very young high tanins and far off being drinkable, I was almost dissappointed I had 2 bottles............
But time is a wonderful thing......... I have layed this down from last year and what a difference a day... err a 6 months makes.
This was a delight to drink, not as full bodied or fruit high as an Aussie Shiraz, but enough to get the tastebuds excited, a little herb and spice. Had with steak on first night and second night with green pestp pasta and chicken. Working happily with both.
I would say on the second night the wine had become more spicy which was nice. This also had a whole afternoon open before the first night to be sure it has time to get its aromas and flavours realeased.
I will and did buy again on the Market Place the current offering, you should too, its not got long to run.
