’ 97 points

First produced in 1997 and often described as a black forest gateau in a glass

Warm aromas of ripe plum

Deep and complex without ever seeming cloying or adulterated

this wine shows both finesse and intensity—less about overt power and more about elegance

Te Mata Bullnose Syrah 2023 e1 ’ 97 pointsDeep magenta with an onyx dark core, Bullnose has an immediate rich aroma of cinnamon, lavender, ultra ripe raspberry and black cherry. Lush with plum and boysenberry, the palate has immense depth and is interwoven with black liquorice, spice and velvety chocolate tannins. A deep delight, replete in detail, the wine has a classically beautiful Bullnose purity with power, a sumptuous dark heart, and a long, structured, elegant finish. Wine Storage
