Farvie Syrah 2023
/100
Uigennemsigtig, let skyet violet farve med ekstraherede tårer på kanten af glasset. Dyb, koncentreret og krydret næse. Morbær, vilde blommer, moreller, middelhavsurter, sort oliventapenade og olivenlake, allehånde, sort peber, frisk kløver og grov leverpølse. Den delikat røgede, grafitlignende, tørveagtige mineralitet er grundlaget for alle smagene, brummende som en dieselmotor, intens og mørk under alle de andre aromaer. Næsen er både rig på finesse og kompleks. I munden fejer en bølge af mørk frugt hen over hele tungen. Cassis og brombær - den geniale friskhed fra perfekt moden frugt betyder, at intet er tungt her, alt er lige tilpas. Så lækker som vaniljeis med cassis og chokoladeovertræk. Fine, modne, veldefinerede, kornede, grippy tanniner giver vinen dens unikke, kølige aura. Som med alle Swinney-vine ville den kølige balance og struktur i denne Syrah placere den i Rhône snarere end i Barossa Valley, selv om frugtintensiteten her bestemt er kraftig. I eftersmagen er der 100 procent chokolade med et strejf af tørret mynte og masser af sorte kirsebær, som forbliver saftige og samtidig krydrede og gribende på tungen. En vin til spisebordet og en drømmepartner til kraftige braiserede retter. I løbet af de næste par år vil den helt sikkert udvikle sig positivt med lidt luft og blive rundere. Jeg smagte den igen og igen i løbet af to dage og er absolut begejstret for denne nye, moderne australske vin.

Matthew Jukes om: Farvie Syrah
Finally, the featured wine in this extraordinary trio. 2023 Swinney Farvie Syrah employs 55% whole bunches, 13.7% alcohol, and the fruit is derived 70% Powderbark B2 and 30% Wilson’s Pool. This is a super-closed and incredibly combative wine, and all the action happens in pin-drop silence. This is a quiet assassin, and the tension throughout is remarkable. It is not easy to determine the grape variety on first taste, and nor should it be because the vineyard and its intense minerality speak louder than the flesh and skins of the grapes. The frictive layers of anti-fruit silently fall away to reveal a spectacular statuesque Syrah. Toned, lithe, brightly fruited and yet immovable, there is not a molecule out of place, and it stands riveted to the spot with a commanding gaze and unshakable temperament.

Winepilot om: Farvie Syrah
Wow, deep colour and a powerful aroma announce a wine of power, poise and presence. Deep black and dark red colour with touches of purple. There is a sweet and beautiful spicy freshness and energy that bursts from the glass. This wine is about feel, and there is a saline minerality and alkaline character combining with an almost glazed shimmering sheen. It is a wine that is both detailed and expansive with layered revealing textures and flavours burning within. The fruit is from dry-grown vertically trellised vines on the Powerbark and Wilson’s Pool vineyards. And the detail comes from the handpicking berry sorting approach before gravity feeding the two demi muids with a 55% whole bunch component. A remarkable wine that challenges our greatest Shiraz albeit with a stylistic difference.

Parker om: Farvie Syrah
The 2023 Farvie Syrah is streamlined and tightly coiled, with layers of compacted red gravel, dried rose petals, blood and licorice, dried herbs and caper brine, tapenade and sandalwood. This is all blue fruit; the tannins are firm but very fine, profuse without being overbearing and all derived from the fruit and stems (approximately 60% in 2023). At 13.9% alcohol, this is fine, fresh and bloody, and it's so exciting to feel, as the tannins are everything we could hope for, as fine wine lovers, seamlessly integrated and natural, contributing to the overall effortlessness of the wine. Bravo.
