Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (98)

A sensational wine, the 1998 Syrah Astralis is a candidate for perfection. It boasts an inky/purple color as well as a big, complex, sweet perfume of charcoal, spring flowers, blackberry liqueur, roasted meats, and damp, forest floor-like notes. Enormously endowed, with good acid, backstrapping tannin levels, fabulous concentration, and a layered mouthfeel, it is beginning to throw off some of its closed, impenetrable personality. A long-termer, it needs another 5-7 years to fully open, and should last for 2-3 decades thereafter.

Winespectator (95)

Firm in texture, with tannins that tightly wrap up the dense, focused blackberry, tar and licorice flavors, finishing with some elegance. It takes several sips to show what this has, but it comes together beautifully on the finish. Syrah.--Australian reds blind retrospective.
