The brand new 2020 Bullnose Syrah is yet again another barnstorming success. It is a luminous red that has been awarded double 98 points by New World wine experts Sam Kim (Wine Orbit) and Bob Campbell (The Real Review). Having outscored its preceding vintage, the new 2020 brims with "gorgeous aromas", leading to a "concentrated palate offering a rich texture and plush mouthfeel" (WO). "Powerful and imposing", in the words of Sam Kim, this "imposing wine" sees prodigious potential to age until 2040.
Deep, purple-tinted syrah with a wonderfully fine-grained, perfectly-pitched texture. Flavours include cassis, plum, dark berries, anise, black pepper, floral and red rose together with spicy oak. A very impressive wine.

This is brimming with gorgeous aromas of Black Doris plum, violet, warm spice and toasted almond on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate offering a rich texture and plush mouthfeel. It’s powerful and imposing while remaining gracious and captivating, beautifully framed by fine grainy tannins, finishing persistent and immensely satisfying.

Tasted alongside the 2019, the 2020 Syrah Bullnose is super seductive and entices you with its strawberry and red cherry fruit and florals rather than the more exotic perfume of the 2019. Gorgeously textured, it blossoms in the mouth. However, there's a richness of tannic substance within its core, coating the mouth with a powdery veil. This can be approached now but has the abundance of concentration and structure to last a decade and potentially longer.
