Leyda Lot 8 Syrah 2020

Like a number of Chile’s best Syrahs, Lot 8 is made entirely with clone 470. Fermented with 35% whole bunches and mostly aged in foudres, this is a wonderful cool climate expression of the grape, showing tapenade, lavender and pepper spice aromas and a compact, youthful palate of blackberry and black olive. Drink date: 2024-2032. Score – 95. (timatkin.com, Chile Special Report 2023)
