Vinicola Guaspari, Vista do Chá Syrah, Brazil, 2012

Expressive and highly aromatic with multiple layers: blueberry, mature blackberry, bacon, black pepper, smoke and graphite. Palate is concentrated and firm with a lovely savoury, spicy, smoky streak to the ripe dansom fruit, leading to a note of bitter liquorice on the finish. Wonderfully pure, vibrant style, a full-bodied Syrah, with a lot of personality and utterly delicious.
