A more elegant take on the Barossa staple, this Syrah has a calming presence with the expected curiosity that Yelland & Papps wines deliver time and again.
Those familiar with the brand may recognise that the Second Take label is no more and this Syrah takes its place.
Mulberries and blueberries cut loose. They scoop up the aroma profile and sing joyously as they flood the mouth bringing an impressive mouth perfume. Dried red flowers, cured meat, a flash of licorice plus some cola. Add some hoisin and you're in business. The use of 62% whole bunches brings a terrific savoury drive and a little skinsy feel - yes! A range of exotic spices are scattered about leaving a tingle and hum through the mouth. It's long, persistent and moreish, and builds even more momentum after a long decant.
