The 2013 Ambassador 'Estate' Syrah follows up the impressive 2012 bottling. The wine opens with aromas of cassis, blackberry compote, smoke and coffee grounds. There are flavors of black cherry, black olive, wild blackberry and suggestions of tar. This is very balanced and mineral driven Syrah that needs at least an hour in the decanter to show its full potential. I can see this cellaring well for another decade.
