The 2009 Syrah 4.7.7. is an evolved wine with a strange style and a unique bouquet. The wine offers whiffs of rosemary oil and dill followed by ripe blackberry, cured meat and spicy bresaola. It finds better balance after a few minutes in the glass. There is a good amount of sweetness on the palate followed by thick lines, a bold style and dense extraction. Syrah and Puglia could make for a very interesting match and Alberto Longo is among the first to experiment with this marriage.
