Viña Ventisquero Pangea Apalta Vineyards Syrah 2016

Making the most of the experience of Australian consultant John Duval – who used to work for Penfolds – this superb varietal Syrah comes from 20 mini lots across ten hectares of vines in Apalta. Racy, ripe and textured, it shows the cooler year, with some white pepper notes and fresh cherry and blackberry fruit. Drink date: 2022-2031. Score – 95. (timatkin.com, Chile Special Report 2020)
