Trinity Hill Gimblett Gravels Syrah 2024

Cameron Douglas MS writes "A vibrant deeply coloured appearance with a core of dark purple, dark red and pink rim. Aromas of spiced and toasted black fruits of currant and black cherry, a fine layer of forest herbs and violet. A bouquet with concentration and intrigue. On the palate a dry wine with core flavours of black currant and dark wild raspberry, spices and dried herb, gravels and stone with a saline quality. Tannins are firm and acidity sets in place the backbone of this expression. A delicious wine needing cellar time with best drinking from late 2028 through 2034+."

David Walker Bell, Wine Folio writes "A deep purple, ruby red in the glass. Blending savoury and sweet aromas, the perfume is inviting and complex. Giving a sense of walking down a country lane, the hedges drying from a shower, and smelling earth, with peat, fallen leaves and herbs mingled with plum, bramble and raspberry fruits. Well-structured but made to drink now as much as it is to be cellared. Dry, supple tannin meets crisp and juicy acidity in the palate, with good flow and direction. A touch of barrel spice – peppery and smoky, and a velvet texture round things out. There’s a reasonable length to the well-balanced finish too."
