NV Sami-Odi ‘Little Wine’ #14 (Syrah)

The 'Little Wine' is Fraser's un-vintaged assemblage of syrah from the ancient vines of the Hoffmann's Dallwitz vineyard. For those who want to embrace their inner wine geek, this year's breakdown is as follows: 37/32/12/8/4/3/1/2/1% 2024/2023/2022/2021/2020/2019/2017/2018/2016 & 2015.

"Deep, dark Doris plum, black cherry, boysenberry and blueberry fruits with glimpses of raspberry pip top-notes. Deeply cut with exotic spice, turned earth, tapenade, wild strawberry, anise, chocolate-dipped cherries and dried flowers. There's a nice plumpness to the fruit as it fans out on the palate, all pure and harmonious; the interplay of fine acidity and tight, fine, sandy tannin catching the eye and drawing the drinker's attention and sense of wonder. Detailed, fresh and wonderful drinking as always and a clear example of a wine where the whole is more than the sum of its parts."
