The Doctor Syrah - 2006
Colour: Rich inky red-purple
Aroma: Soft ripe aromatic berry fruits, hinting of a deep fruit and oak complexity.
Palate: Ripe tannins, softer than the 2005 but just as powerful while maintaining a balanced structure and attitude. An intense and complex sweet fruit experience with a touch of black pepper over a balanced and keenly defined mid palate and once again for Hatton Estate a typically long finish.
Winemaker’s notes: A slow maturation and malolatic fermentation has empowered this wine with a balance and complexity which bodes well for the future while allowing the impatient an excuse to enjoy now. For those serious about cellaring this wine will continue to evolve positively for at least another 15 to 20 years. The winery will be keeping back 40 of the 160 cases made to monitor progress..
Food match: Try The Doctor Syrah with great friends over a memorable meal.
Cellar potential: 15 to 20 years from harvest.
