SA 54-354 Hoffman Dallwitz Syrah

Hello and sit up - this bad boy wine is in the room - fruit boom - and complex - thank you again @Shawn R

I’m such a tremendous fan of these wines. Every single detail here is absolutely first class, without any unnecessary pretense. Dense and delicious, cut flower aromatics, baking spice, rich plum and opulent everything. Get on board.

Our first Sami Odi. Stunner of a Syrah. Balanced and nuanced but layers and layers of flavor. @Fraser McKinley you da man.

Inky purple, olive brine, violet, mineral. A big wine but still in balance 😋

Ridiculous stuff...so many waves of flavor

Sami-Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah 2016. This wine is a beast and will benefit greatly from some cellar time, but I can’t seem to keep my hands off. A triple decant along with 6 hours in the decanter at cellar temperature. I should have poured it on a cookie sheet with a couple of industrial fans blowing on it. All that said, the wine is spectacular and reminds me of my favorite Sami-Odi, “Baby Tui.” @Fraser McKinley. The Manfred Krankl Of Australia! What more can I say?
