1997 TURNBULL Syrah,
Napa Valley,
Oakville
Where
do you begin with this one? First of all, the bouquet is pure perfume.
Dark, red ripe fruit, spicy plum and black cherry, with aromas of
candle wax, vanilla and a dash of lead pencil. Everything translates
beautifully onto the palate, displaying a rich and silky huge
concentration of flavor. The finish is long and develops more
interest, revealing the essence of fresh coconut. The tannins are
firm, but the massive amount of fruit puts them well into their place.
Around $22. 07/20/00
