2022 Nostalgia “Family Collection” Syrah 🔥 93+pts 🔥 Exclusive Pre-Release

The 2022 vintage was a cooler but equally exceptional vintage compared to the hotter 2020 vintage. Comparing the two vintages through the 2022 and 2020 Nostalgia "Family Collection" Syrah is a great experience. While the 2020 is big, rich, opulent and spicy, the 2022 is more on dark fruits, energy and grilled meat. This is vintage variation in a nutshell. Both are 93+ points and an excellent addition to any cellar!

On the nose, violets, rosemary, blackberry, black cherry, oak spice and pencil shavings. On the palate, black currant, black plum, cranberry jam, and black cracked pepper. The tannins are beautiful, while still a little rigid given the young age. The oak is moving into the right places on the palate, and everything is showing incredible long term potential. Might even be better for the cellar than the warmer 2020 vintage.
