Remarkably, the 2002 Syrah Brookman Vineyard is even more compelling than the 2003. Still an infant, it exhibits a saturated blue/purple color as well as a marvelous perfume of blueberry and blackberry liqueur intermixed with scents of flowers, graphite, vanilla, coffee, and licorice. It possesses great intensity along with a wealth of fruit and glycerin covering substantial tannin, and a spectacular finish that lasts over a minute. Give it 3-5 more years of bottle age, and enjoy it over the following two decades. Roman Bratasiuk is one of Planet Earth’s greatest winemakers, and obviously a top-notch viticulturist given his obsession with sourcing extraordinary fruit from ancient McLaren Vale vineyards. Please note there has been a change in American importers for Clarendon Hills. Importer: Commonwealth Wine & Spirits Inc., Mansfield, MA; tel. (508) 328-6764
