"Richly fruited with stunning fruit purity and perfume, the wine shows Black Doris plum, blueberry, violet, warm spice and cedar characters on the nose. The palate displays splendid concentration and plush texture, wonderfully complemented by velvety tannins. Mouthfilling and flavoursome with grace and sophistication. At its best: now to 2036" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2023
"Deep purple with a ruby core, lighter on the rim. This has an expressive, elegant bouquet with penetrating aromas of violet overlying black Doris plum and blackberry interweave spice, cured meat and cedar. Medium-full bodied, the palate shows blackberry and black Doris with a suggestion of balsamic marinated strawberry intertwined with violet, black pepper, cedar, clove, black tea and minerals. Fine-grained tannins provide a fine structure adorned with spice; lively acidity enlivens and lengths the finish. This elegant Syrah possesses attractive red and black fruit with a vibrant acid balance and a structured mouthfeel" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jan 2023
"Opaque with a dark purple core and pinkish rim. Aromas and flavours of blackcurrant berries and raspberry, clay and spices, sweet meats and baking spices with a whisp of vanilla and smoky barrel. Fleshy, fruity, salivating and dry as the wine touches the palate. Firm textures from tannins and acidity with core fruit flavours reflecting the bouquet, raspberries and plums, milk chocolate and spices. A delicious, well made wine with a fleshy mouthfeel and lengthy finish. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2023
"Bright, crisp Syrah with raspberry, blueberry, black pepper, damson plum, lime/citrus and spicy oak flavours. Youthful wine that will benefit from time in bottle. Opened up as it sat in the glass, and deserves to be aerated" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Apr 2023
An elegantly concentrated palate of black berries, black pepper & seductive spices. Nutty oak balanced by fine chocolatey tannins. Violet & black florals lead to a stylish lingering finish with mineral elements. SOHO Rosso, a flawless extravagance of femininity.
