2021 Gravity Ghost Syrah

Another less than objective opinion about a lovely human’s recent vintage efforts. Opens cleanly with a strong waft of Australian bush or terroir if you prefer. Fresh and aromatic. More than just gum trees, there’s fresh spices, sweet earthiness and wet undergrowth overlaying a core of dark raspberries with a bit of plum. Just medium weight. Same flavours as it hits the tongue together with more woody stem spice. A natural feel to soft insistent acidity and powder fine tannin. From a cooler year perhaps but no greenness intrudes. A gentle drink with enough perfumed fruit and warm savouriness to make an impression. Haunting perhaps.

13% alcohol. Screw cap. Somewhere between $25 and 30 I think? Got a bit lost in some swaps where I came out the better off as usual.

92 with a shout for 93 in time.
