Elephant Hill Reserve Syrah 2019
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
PERFECTLY BOTTLE-AGED, ACCLAIMED RELEASE.
It's hard to overstate the magnitude of the offer in front of you, but this is a rare chance to purchase bottle-aged wines of this calibre at what can only be described as a 'compelling' price.
95/100 'Outstanding' | Cameron Douglas MS - "Lovely weight and mouthfeel."
FIVE STARS 95/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit - "Gorgeously stylish and harmonious, with excellent structure and balance."
94/100 | Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review
Beautifully concentrated, top flight Hawke's Bay Syrah from the Elephant Hill team. The Reserves are a special barrel selection that sit between the Estate series and Elephant Hill's super-premium Icons range- and are only released when the conditions are absolutely perfect.
The 2019 Reserve Syrah hails from a wonderful growing season in Hawkes Bay. Now 6 years on from harvest, this stunning, bottle-aged syrah is right in the zone and drinking beautifully, but this wine will blossom with a few years in the cellar also. Tuck a 6 pack away and watch the magic unfold.

Tasting Notes
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Sweetly fruited and complex, the inviting bouquet shows blackberry, smoked game, toasted spice and roasted hazelnut aromas, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate offering fleshy texture backed by layers of fine tannins, making it sturdy and robust with a sustained velvety finish. Gorgeously stylish and harmonious, with excellent structure and balance."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "A complete bouquet, a complete wine, vibrant and varietal with a bouquet of fresh black currant and barrel spices, roasted red skinned orchard fruits, tobacco and plum, violets and new leather, baking spices and wood smoke. Lovely weight and mouthfeel, dry with a core of fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet, a decent backbone of acidity, firm tannins and lengthy complex finish."
Stephen Wong MW writes "Plush and perfumed oak. Baking spice and white pepper, blackberry and cassis fruit with sweet floral overtones filling the glass. Svelte and opulent on the entry, with fine, rounded fruit tannins and some grippy oak firming it up towards the back without interrupting the flow. Subtle and long, mid-weight fruit persists—unchanged—through to the back where it is joined by earthy seed spice and a hint of dried herb. Still youthful, compact but stylish."
