The 2008 Syrah spent 10 months in barrel. Opaque purple-colored, it offers up an already complex bouquet of earth notes, underbrush, game, smoked meat, and blue fruits. Layered, round, spicy, and well-balanced, it has the structure to evolve for 1-2 years and will offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2020.
Pagos del Moncayo’s new releases are all outstanding.
