Written Notes

‘The Heir’ Syrah McLaren Vale 2017 ($80) – This vintage may not match its legendary predecessor, but this wine certainly exceeds vintage expectations. Near black with purple rims, the nose is all about licorice, chocolate, axle grease (in a good way), blackberries, tar, soy and beefstock.
