This 2021 Barossa Valley Syrah & Friends by Frederick Stevenson is expected to present a vibrant and complex aromatic profile. On the nose, anticipate rich dark fruit notes of blackberry and plum, complemented by a peppery spice, hints of dried herbs, and possibly a subtle touch of licorice or chocolate, typical of Barossa Shiraz. The ‘Friends’ in the blend might introduce softer red fruit nuances or floral undertones. On the palate, it should offer a medium to full-bodied experience with a core of ripe fruit, balanced acidity, and well-integrated, supple tannins. Expect a savory complexity with spice notes (clove, star anise) leading to a persistent and satisfying finish.
