La Vicomte Authentique Pays d’Oc Syrah 2025
AU$30, 13% alcohol, screwcap, France.

There’s a creamy aspect to the texture of this wine which, combined with blueberry and red cherry fruit flavours, makes this a (very) easy wine to like and enjoy. This is a wine that feels both plump and dry at once; it throws dried herbs, woodsy spices and sinewy tannin into the mix, but there’s also a generosity to the flavour and to the mouthfeel. It’s very good buying, not to mention drinking. 92 points.
