2014 Jamsheed Syrah Harem Series La Syrah – Australia, Victoria, Port Phillip, Yarra Valley (2/22/2019)
Big Top Closeout Deal Wines; 11/22/2018-2/24/2019 (Minneapolis/ St. Paul MN): Day 1: Pepper, spice, funk and sour fruits. Good acidity and a rare quality in an Aussie Shiraz which is sour on the finish. Light to medium concentration and love the funky nature of the wine. Drink by itself or good pairing with ribs or steak. Really nice find. 89 points
Day 2: Pepper, spice, raspberries and strawberries. On the palate shows nice complexity and good acidity. Almost refreshing. Shorter to medium finish. Balanced and an exciting new find. 90 points
Day 3: Even better. White pepper, gravel, raspberries, floral and Asian spices. Medium plus finish and good acidity. This is such a great find as I have never heard of this producer but will be seeking out more of their wines. 91 points
Recommendation: I would cellar these for a few years and try from 2020 to 2025. Very solid! (91 points)
