Konzelmann Syrah Barrel Aged 2022

Full throttle syrah with cracked black pepper and a fruit-drenched palate with berries that transit from red to black and blue. Unbe lievably perfumed violet expressed on both nose and palate, tannins that are smooth as silk, and a posh gloss of oak. Hedonistic syrah that impressed in a blind tasting, and gets an extra point for great value. Tasted blind NWAC 2024. (D.J. Kearney,winealign.com)
