Burrowing Owl 2019 Syrah

A complex, intense and brooding Syrah full of baked blackberries, black plum and ripe blueberry fruit with intriguing notes of pie crust, shortbread, bacon, charred meat, sage, game and iodine notes. The palate is full bodied and rich with ripe tannins, crisp acidity, dense black fruits, mint dark chocolate and lots of pepper, paprika, graphite and dried sage notes on the long, savoury finish. The concentration and structure make it perfect for cellaring. Pair with harissa rubbed grilled pork tenderloin, garlic and rosemary studded lamb leg or roasted herb and garlic infused mushrooms.
