95 / 100"Levantine Hill continues with their premium wine charter, here with possibly the Yarra Valley wine region’s highest price syrah. And it’s a good ‘un if $200-odd is in your wheelhouse. It’s an architectural red of lithe tannin, black-and-red cherry fruit character, white pepper spice and some light gamey characters. The flow is even, just on medium weight, bound in those graphite-licked tannins and seasoned with a dash of cinnamon oak. The finish is stellar, mouth-watering with tension and light, fine tannin chew. Stellar wine."

Tasting Notes
It is bottled as “Syrah” in recognition of its refined structure, savoury flavour and eloquently spiced nuance. It features a subtly brooding and slowly unfurling complex nose, featuring rumours of blackberry, liquorice, stalk, tar, spice, Christmas mince pies and charry oak.
