Tensley, Noir Syrah Size:6x750ml Cool but very ripe aromas

Cool but very ripe aromas include notes of mocha

though there are wisps of black raspberry

This understated effort should be lovely in a few years

(from Chassagne fruit)

all wrapped in a mildly austere and persistent finish

Tensley, Noir Syrah Size:6x750ml Cool but very ripe aromasThe 2022 Syrah Noir is a blend of the five best barrels in the cellarthree from Colson Canyon and two from the Estate. Sumptuous and racy, the Noir possesses notable concentration and textural resonance. Blackberry jam, chocolate, licorice and espresso all meld together, deftly supported by 60% new oak. This is the sleekest wine in the Tensley portfolio. I find the oak imprint a bit strong.
