Lobenberg: Was für eine Granate. Ein Komplexitätswunder der Weinwelt. Das Bouquet lädt zum Verweilen ein. Dunkelfruchtig, würzig, sehr kühl, also wie von der Nordrhône. Kein Wunder, französisches Barrique war im Einsatz. Am Gaumen hat man etwas zimtiges, dann reife Sauerkirsche. Ein vibrierender Syrah mit großem Alterungspotenzial. 95/100

Suckling über:
Syrah Le Sol
-- Suckling: The top syrah for Craggy Range is in terrific ripe and juicy form in 2015, showing a very pure and attractively raw fruit expression on the nose with fresh blackberry, blueberry and dark toasted spices. The palate has a clever sense of build and really blooms from the inside out, pushing sweet, ripe blackberry and dark cherry fruit flavor wide and deep. Tannins glide like silk. Drink now and for some years to come – this will develop smoothly in bottle. 94/100

Parker über:
Syrah Le Sol
-- Parker: Not the biggest, densest or richest vintage of this wine, the 2015 Le Sol instead emphasizes fragrance and elegance. Cracked pepper and violets on the nose give way to flavors of blueberries and spice on the medium to full-bodied palate. The oak seems much less noticeable than in the past, the extraction less intense, and the wine flows more naturally across the palate and into a long, seamless finish. 93/100
Wine Spectator über:
Syrah Le Sol
-- Wine Spectator: This red has plenty of power, opening up fragrant and effusive, with white pepper, sage and toasted cumin accents to a core of rich, velvety and concentrated blackberry and blueberry notes. Lovely spice flavors and aromas linger on the long, expressive finish. Syrah. Drink now through 2029. 93/100
