ANTHONIJ RUPERT SYRAH 2020

Appealing spicy plum and dark fruit compote aromas, perfumed and seductive. The palate entry is supple, smoothly rounded and comforting. Once again, the rich and ripe plum, blackberry and blueberry fruit are apparent. It doesn’t stop there, with pepper, herbs and an earthiness mingling with a cigar box and spice nuance. The ease and approachability are something of a disguise, as the wine has grip and muscular power in abundance. Harmonious and somewhat deceptive integrated oak adds to the impression of effortless ease, yet the wine remains poised, rich, rewarding and complex.

Appealingly bold aromas of tropical fruits—guava, kiwi, and fig— highlighted by a light grapefruit sheen. Taut, crisp, and tangy, the palate boasts an abundance of citrus vivacity. The ripe tropical notes from the nose are present as well, with kiwi and fig complemented by a light dusting of flint and white pepper for added complexity. Texture is impressive, with a leesy breadth and length that define its character. The balance and harmony of fruit, acid, and lees are notable, and the finish is remarkably lingering.

The universal appeal of chocolate is allied to an understated violet perfume and some deeper, inky, earthy notes, making for a seductive mix. Texture informs the palate: rounded on entry, soft, lush and succulent. Only then do the rich cocoa and dark black, blue and cherry fruit notes announce their presence, along with a squeeze of chalky but fine tannin. Elegant, refined and poised, the palate displays lovely harmony of fruit and oak in a deliciously long, supple and silky package. It feels effortless but is supremely rewarding in the pleasure stakes.

Intriguing and alluring melange of fynbos, soft Agen prune, pepper, berry compote and licorice with both an earthy and floral edge. The initial impression on the palate is all ripe blue and black fruit – and the power associated with them, but then it softens and becomes altogether more tempting with deeper cocoa powder and buchu flavours. The texture and mouthfeel is velvety and smooth, so supple and seamless – as is the use of oak. The wood provides a frame or skeleton but never imposes itself. The harmony of tannin and fruit is impressive and superbly meshed.

The subtle pale shade of coppery pink is eye-catching but the aromas of plum and red fruit, mingled with chalky limestone and fresh citrus simply add to the appeal. The energetic and zippy bubbles deliver the berried red fruit flavours to the tongue while the zesty citrus notes add acid balance add piquancy. Focussed, clean and dry with a faint but gentle brushstroke of creamy richness from yeast and lees that simply adds interest and complexity. Long-lived, stylish and refreshing throughout.
