[SOLD-OUT] Syrahmi Last Dance Shiraz 2014

Wine Front 94 points!


“The name reflects that this was the last time that Greenstone Vineyard sold fruit to Adam Foster (though that has changed again for 2017 with an arrangement bringing Foster and Greenstone back together once more). No pumping, no plunging, 54 days as 100% whole bunch. Old oak only here. It’s a style that took me ages to come at, get my head around, so wild, unfettered, curious, wonderful. I did a tasting with the winemaker and used about half a bottle over an hour to get my position on the wine. It needs that, and longer, in your glass. One of those wines that goes on a journey with you as you drink it, shape-shifts, challenges and delights. Like that.

Idiosyncratic wine that jerks and tugs in bouquet and palate with a hustle of green herbal character, pepper, crisp, forest berry fruits, and in both perfume and flavours, fernet-like finish. It’s chompy, vibrant, tangy and refreshing. A red wine needing stacks of time and plenty of contemplating, though drinks with a curiosity that compels. I really like this.”

Mike Bennie, Wine Front, July 2017

"Dark and deep brick red, a riot of perfume of ripe wild raspberries, cherries, gun smoke, graphite turned earth and spice with star anise, powerful and intense with meaty salami and black olive notes and sweet Asian scents.

The palate is driven by ripe fruit with black olives, graphite again and dried herbs, a long savory mid palate of smoked meat, rich and powerful structure, the wine shows poise alongside brooding power, finishing with rich tannins and balanced natural acidity. The length is super long and very fine."
