Mullineux 'Granite' Syrah, Swartland, South Africa 2019 Domaine de la Noblaie This has very good ripeness

This has very good ripeness but without excess and is a little closed and austere

It is light and refreshing making a good choice for an aperitif

refreshing enough to drink with a light chill

Mullineux 'Granite' Syrah, Swartland, South Africa 2019 Domaine de la Noblaie This has very good ripenessA compact, creamy red, with broad shoulders and sculpted tannins tightly meshed with flavors of bitter cherry and currant, crushed peppercorn, dried lavender, graphite and stony mineral. Not a powerhouse wine, this instead carries its stature gracefully as the flavor range expands and lingers on the palate. 94 Pts Wine Spectator
