Mullineux, Swartland Syrah Granite Vintage:2016 plum and cassis notes that

plum and cassis notes that really stick with you

making this estate the biggest landowner in Vignarionda

but I don't see this ever being a truly elegant Barolo

minerals and spice notes

but that does not necessarily mean that it is the first of the vineyards to be harvested

Mullineux, Swartland Syrah Granite Vintage:2016 plum and cassis notes thatThe 2015 Granite Syrah was matured for 18 months in 25% new oak. It has a perfumed bouquet of bilberry and mulberry fruit; white pepper and touches of clove develop with aeration. The medium bodied palate offers supple tannin, slight earthiness on the entry and truffle and black pepper toward the lightly spiced finish. This is very classy, perhaps just leaning to the powerful side of Swartland Syrah. Neal Martin
