2018 Boschkloof Syrah
'Made with fruit from two "spice-driven" vineyards in Stellenbosch, both of them on the decomposed granite that Syrah loves so much, this is hauntingly perfumed and alluring, all blood and rosemary and black olive, with subtle wood and wonderful purity and texture. 2022-28' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2020, 94/100
'The 2018 Syrah, which includes 30% whole bunch and was aged in used French oak for 14 months, has a lovely bouquet of brambly black fruit, black pepper and light bay leaf scents that unfurl wonderfully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe, very spicy entry and Provençal herbs mixed with tobacco and clove. Quite complex and poised, with good weight and density on the finish. Excellent.' - Neal Martin, Vinous, 93/100
