Aramis The Heir Syrah 2014

Written By Campbell Mattinson

Aramis Museum Release The Heir Syrah 2014
$80, 14% alcohol, cork, McLaren Vale.

Eleven years old and drinking beautifully. This is why red wine is cellared. Coffee, blackberry, leather, earth and sweet spice notes, with whispers of licorice and truffle-like flavours too. This is complex, mellow, well framed by tannin (to say the least) and generally drinking at its peak. The promise this wine showed as a young wine has now been franked. This is a mature beauty. 94 points.
