NV Sami-Odi ‘Little Wine’ #11 (Syrah)

An unvintaged assemblage composed of casks from 2021 (46%) , 2020 (18%), 2019 (16%), 2018 (2%), 2017 (9%), 2016 (5%) & 2015 (4%). Sourced from their six treasured plots within the Hoffmann’s ‘Dallwitz’ vineyard from vines planted in 1996, 1995, 1994, 1960, 1927 & the oldest vines planted prior to 1912.

"Lots of blackberry and black cherry fruit here, with iodine, bay leaves and some graphite. Iron, too. Firm and wonderfully fresh, with a medium to full body and a muscular tannin frame. Length and density here." 98 Points - James Suckling

"Dark fruited, inky and soft, maraschino and booze-soaked currants, fresh though, tannins high, a sense of concentration and depth. Gravelly grip comes through, some hazy paprika smoke notes in perfume and palate too. Fresh finish, more sweet currant and red liquorice notes, fennel, mushroom and this interesting weak brandy character. It’s beautiful, highly perfumed and hearty at once. A more intense, deeper release of this wine, but the sum of parts makes for very lovely stuff, indeed." 94 Points - Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
