2016 Porseleinberg- Swartland Syrah (750ml)
94 Points
"The 2016 Syrah was "a hell of a challenge," according to winemaker

Callie Louw, but he produced an absolutely stunning wine, despite the

parched vines suering half the amount of rainfall. The wine was

matured in 70% foudres and 30% concrete eggs. This was the first year

the alcohol level breached 14.0%. The very expressive bouquet, more

vivid than the 2015, features blackberry, bilberry, a touch of raspberry,

cracked black pepper and just a faint hint of charcoal. This is a very

cerebral Porseleinberg. The palate is medium-bodied with ne tannin,

outstanding structure, broody black fruit and gentle grip, and the schist

soils are very expressive on a finish that feels fresh but extremely

complex.
