Culraithin Syrah 2002

The black-coloured 2002 Syrah explodes from the glass with candied black raspberry aromas. A spicy, mouth-coating wine armed with sumptuous density of fruit, it displays loads of blackberries and black raspberries whose flavours linger in its ripe tannin-laden, lengthy finish. (The Wine Advocate)
