Gestad Syrah
Baden, Germany
This is backwards out of the gates but it’s all there. Huge density, power and concentration while remaining fresh and incisive. Needs an hour and I will be back. Needed way more than an hour. Still on day 2 this is dense and sinewy. Really structured but so fresh. Acts like high end Crozes or baby Hermitage. On day 3 this has finally come around! Like the 18 and 15! Unreal aromas and so expansive. Sweet, dense and long 9.4 to 9.5. But it was like pushing a boulder up a cliff.

Entirely new beast to me. First German Syrah I’ve tasted. 15 year old vines. Energetic, zesty, and pepper-y. Bit sharp on the finish but this is buzzing.
