2006 SCRIO Syrah Le Macchiole
2006 SCRIO Syrah Le Macchiole
| Grapes: Syrah | Origin: Italy, Tuscany |
Lea & Sandeman review
Hugely impressive, and the first vintage in shich Cinzia has cut back on the new oak so that the Syrah is altogether more expressive.Other reviews and comments
The 2006 Scrio (Syrah) is a rich, intense wine loaded with ripe dark fruit and plenty of toasted oak. With time in the glass the wine’s signature floral, minty notes gradually emerge, yet this remains a vibrant, youthful Scrio in need of serious bottle age to integrate its oak. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024.
92/100
Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Bright ruby-red. Higher-pitched and fresher on the nose than the 2007 Scrio, with red cherry, sweet spice, lavender and white pepper aromas showing the more polite side of syrah. Then sweet, firm and tangy in the mouth, with harmonious acids lifting the red cherry flavor. This has more drive than the '07 but less meaty varietal character. Finishes velvety-smooth, bright and long.
90/100
