Hedges Descendants Liégeois Dupont Syrah 2018

Aromas of cured meat, plums, black cherries and crushed herbs. Full-bodied with fine, silky tannins. Ripe red fruit is complemented by bright acidity and ground spice. There is a clear note of vanilla curd at the finish. Lovely. Drink or hold [into the early 2030s]. Score – 93. (jamessuckling.com, Aug. 9, 2022)
