| Tasting Notes |
Colour: Intense and profound red.
Nose: Complex with ripe black fruit aromas of blackcurrant and blueberries, with some hints of rich chocolate.
Palate: Explosive fruit and concentrated flavor. Very round structure balances the tight, but jammy tannins.
Drink: A blockbuster to drink during its first 7-10 years.

Robert M. Parker, Jr. - The Wine Advocate, 31/10/2005
The 2005 Syrah de Malakoff is a top selection from the Pyrenees sector of Australia. It exhibits superb depth and richness in its smoky, camphor, black pepper, violet, and black currant-scented and flavored personality. Deep and rich, with good acidity, ripe tannin, a hint of minerals, and impressive balance, concentration, and intensity, it was obviously made from extremely low yields. Give it 2-3 years of bottle age, and consume it over the following 15+ years. |
