Hoffman Dallwitz Little Wine #8 Syrah 2021

9.5

My last Little Wine #8 - see previous notes, from only 17 weeks ago - these will be brief. A blend of 5 vintages of 2015 to 2019 inclusive. Very much the product of ancient vines which it is. Black fruits with plums and dark chocolate with those trademark silky tannins and low acid. One could not help but love this. I see Suckling gave this 97 points. I just took delivery of this year’s allocation which is mainly from the fabulous 2021 vintage in South Australia. — a year ago

Hopefully you asked for table # 5, best seat in the house!

@Paul T- Huntington Beach nah.. that’s the old best seat. New best is table #8. Reason is that the roller shades don’t work and you get cooked by the sun…. 😜🤣🤪😊

My #8 in this 2007-2018 vertical. I thought it was the 2016, turned out to be the 2012. Seem much younger, so I guess it should really shine in the next few years — 4 years ago

Catalan wine tasting #8
Amazing complex nose, slightly fruity, more animalistic, mineral, earthy.
Dark cherry, black rock, leather, wild herbs, cold roast.
Amazing on the palate. With great precision, concentration and yet freshness. Insane!
And depth. Great depth and character!
Spicy, fresh, juicy with great purity.
Absolutely stunning! A truly elegant, complex, profound wine!
Needs 6h breathing but does not disappoint! — 2 years ago

Wine Advent(ure) #8. First time having a Torrontes wine. Very pleasant surprise. Notes of apricot and Meyer lemon on the nose. Crisp, tart and dry throughout. Lemon peel and apricot seem the predominant flavors. — 3 years ago

Coteaux de l’Aubance sweet white. Domaine de la Perruche tasting #8. Lovely, Chenin blanc so not quite like Monbazillac though the resemblance is obvious. 22/7-2022 — 2 years ago

We tasted nine Kosta Browne Pinots from 2005-2013, all from the Keefer Ranch vineyard. The 2005 was very good but tasted slightly hot to me. #8 — 3 years ago

Tasting of 10 of the 2007-2011 Dehlinger Pinots. Eva Delingher was kind enough to join our tasting and answer all of our random questions. So this one was very confusin, it kept fading in and out. As such I rated it #8 of 10 — 4 years ago
