product description
Bilancia Syrah 2021
Review
James Suckling (JamesSuckling.com): 95/100. Aromas of brambleberry, white pepper, dried rose petal, and thyme. Medium to full body. Medium to firm tannins. Fine texture. Love the tension and refined texture. Very silky. Drink or hold.
Stephen Wong MW (The Real Review): 93/100. Under the radar syrah. Warren Gibson and Lorraine Leheny of Bilancia are likely best known for their absolutely phenomenal La Collina Syrah, which has been highlighted often and is on almost every list of great New Zealand syrah. That wine is indisputably great, garnering a score of 97 from both Bob Campbell MW and myself separately. However, it would be remiss to overlook their well-priced estate syrah which punches well above its weight in 2021. Deeply structured with fantastic fruit material. If you buy a case of this for your cellar, you won’t regret it.
Dark with purple tints. Licorice and Irish Moss. A very intense nose, almost medicinal in its concentration. The palate is also intense but additionally, quite late tannins and palate-staining fruit. Very young and undeveloped, it is all tannin and primary blackberry fruit presently. Lots to chew on, medium-bodied and long; mid-weight flavours ending with noticeable graininess and a drying texture. This is going to need a few years before it’s approachable. Ageing: best from 2027 to 2034.
Tasting note
Sweet, ripe berry fruits and plums, fresh and juicy fruit coupled with Hawke’s Bay spice, balanced acidity and ripe, gentle tannins. A great wine for opening on release, this amazing 2020 Syrah is a vibrant, youthful wine and can be enjoyed immediately but it will also continue to develop over the next four to six years.
