Who: Chambo
What: 2009 Luke Lambert Syrah, Yarra Valley
Purchased: Blackhearts and Sparrows, $48
Food: deli foods - cheeses, dips, ham, salami etc
Comments: I am intrigued. Nice big dark colour. It has a quite savoury nose but with some dark fruits. Mouth is filling but linear. Big black fruits, licorice, tobacco on the palette - but with some spices too. There are two intriguing things - firstly, that the initial flavours I would associate more with Great Western than Yarra Valley, and second, it finishes more restrained that it is in the mouth. Just an interesting mix of different things going on. I think I would like to try some other newer style YV syrahs as comparisons.
