2023 Bicknell FC Syrah

Elegant, juicy and fresh with a lively red fruited finish.

Dark red black tinged colour with a bright purple red hue. Fragrant red plum, violet and red liquorice scents carry a perfumed like quality with some gentle clove, vanillin cedar and peppered earth notes following on. Elegant, juicy and fresh, the mid weighted palate is decorated with pretty red plum and red liquorice fruits which meld into a fresh herb infused back drop of delicate vanillin cedar, earth and pepper. Bright and youthful it has fine grained tannins and a lively red fruited finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews……
From a vineyard in Coldstream. Hand picked and optically sorted. Two weeks in open fermenters before being pressed to older barriques and puncheons; 20% whole bunches. A luminous crimson purple. Fragrant and spicy with red cherry and raspberry fruit aromas. Light to medium bodied and quite delicious straight off the bat, this is an excellent addition to the Bicknell FC range. Drink by 2028.
