2005 Craggy Range Le Sol Gimblett Gravels

[Drew]

100% New Zealand Syrah
One of our Christmas day wines.
Very concentrated and ripe but shows beautiful balance. Dark and red fruits with hints of licorich,lavender and white pepper. Elegant with a persistant finish, this was one of the most food friendly wines I've had in a long while. I purchased a couple of these for a song several years ago and opened this bottle in 2008 where I found it all thumbs and recorked. Opening this Christmas day and decanting for 1 hour, this wine showed very well and was one of the hits of the day.
