The red wine Elephant Hill Hawke’s Bay Reserve Syrah, vintage 2012 from the winery Elephant Hill has been rated in 2014 with 93 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Syrah from the region Hawkes Bay in New Zealand.
Deep dark ruby colour, black core, delicate watery rim. Intense savoury notes, pepper, with sweet black berry fruit in the background, a hint of nougat and pipe tobacco, blackberry fruit, multi-faceted bouquet. Complex, dark berries, fine, well-integrated tannins, chocolaty finish, pleasant freshness, pronounced in fruit finish, secure future and certain ageing potential, the difficult vintage was brilliantly mastered.
