Trinity Hill Homage Syrah 2018 (6x75cl)
Medium deep crimson. Beautiful pure raspberry strawberry red cherry aromas with espresso/ sage/ white pepper notes. Inky textured wine with dense concentrated raspberry pastille, strawberry fruits, fine silky tannins and roasted chestnut espresso oak. Finishes chalky al dente firm with lovely mineral length and feathery tannin plume.

Richly opulent yet impeccably structured and seamlessly harmonious, the wine exhibits stunning fruit purity together with seductive spicy complexity. The instantly appealing bouquet shows sweet plum, blackberry, cedar, olive and floral aromas with a hint of cracked pepper. It’s immensely concentrated on the palate, displaying exceptional depth and richness, while remaining graceful and poised. Built to last but enticing and irresistible already. At its best: 2026 to 2038.

Dense yet elegant syrah with floral, violet, dark berry, black pepper, anise and spicy oak. A wine that delivers its power with great subtlety. Surprisingly accessible but with obvious cellaring potential. This is a very serious red indeed.

Tasted blind. Lovely combination of meat, violet and stemmy complexity on the nose. Gets the fruit power of Syrah just right too: brambles and plums. Charred meat on the finish. Fine, chalky tannin. A great example, where canny winemaking has added extra complexity without compromising the integrity of the fruit. A classic.

Always a serious style with a high percentage of whole bunch compared with most producers on the Gravels, this is fragrant, spiced Syrah that seems cooler than the “warmest summer on record” statistics would suggest. While delicate and floaty on the midpalate, there is an intensity of fruit and masses of resolved tannins. Warmly aromatic and brooding with cinnamon, clove and Szechuan pepper meeting black fruit and aniseed, this is a complex, layered style that is constantly evolving. The finish is fresh, the scent of herbs and spices lingering and lingering.
