Kongsgaard Syrah 2013

Bright medium ruby. Musky black raspberry, smoked meat, bacon fat and gunflint on the nose. Densely packed, classically dry and superconcentrated, conveying outstanding youthful energy to its sharply delineated flavors of dark fruits, spices, wild herbs and underbrush. Boasts an incredibly fine-grained texture and noble tannins, finishing with outstanding length and lift. This Syrah has all the elements for greatness. Kongsgaard cited the vintage's "perfect combination of muscle and cushioning.
