Castagna Genesis Syrah 2002
Beechworth, Victoria.
Sealed with cork.
Approx $A60
Syrah with a 'splash' of viognier.
Deep red. Pepper corn, juniper berry, blueberry. The spice is the main element on the nose. Very little discernible viognier effect. Similar peppery element in the mouth. Juicy and medium full. Good fine firm tannins.
Still a baby and very primary at this stage.
Very good, the perfect embalming liquid. . .
