The Real Review: 2024 Clarendon Syrah, 96 pts

The Real Review   |   Aaron Brasher

A fabulously opaque, dark and broodingly rich red in the glass. Some really lifted, exotic and heady aromas here. Blueberry, bramble, Asian spice, sarsaparilla, liqueur chocolate, coffee grounds and dark cherry. Fleshy, blue fruited, opulent and mouth-filling, but countered with perky acidity, textured tannins and plenty of grip. There's lovely shape, length and presence here. A magnificent example of a cooler fruited Australian shiraz.
