I tasted the 2017 Syrah Originals Estate as a barrel sample shortly before it was due to be bottled. Medium to deep ruby-purple, it has a singular nose of licorice, peppercorn, cocoa powder, red and black currants and cherries, plus sparks of fresh raspberries, blueberries and a meaty core. The palate is medium to full-bodied, offering great layers supported by ripe, pleasantly chewy tannins and integrated freshness and finishing very long. 550 cases are expected to be made.
