Mattinson review of Aramis Syrah 2017.

Aramis The Heir Syrah 2017
$80, 14.5%, DIAM cork, McLaren Vale.

This has matured very nicely. It has retained its silk – it’s creamy smooth on the palate – but it has mellowed and become more complex, and it offers excellent drinking right now. Indeed it’s the kind of wine that proves the benefit of ageing (quality) red wine. This now tastes of licorce red and black, earth, leather, mint and caramel. You open the bottle and it spreads out before you, ready to go and openly beautiful. 93 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
