La Cayetana Syrah 2021

Sibel Nur — Decent but a bit much for me

6/10

Found this a bit heavy for my taste — 14% and you can kind of tell. The dark fruit flavours are nice and there's some interesting herby stuff going on, but I think I prefer something a bit lighter. Not bad though, just not my style.

Benjamin Ross — New favourite for cold evenings

8/10

I'm still learning about wine but I know what I like, and I really like this. It's rich and warming without being too boozy. Got some sort of graphite or mineral thing going on that makes it interesting. Had it with a slow-cooked beef stew and it was perfect.

Connor McBride — Absolute winner at our dinner party

9/10

Brought two bottles to a dinner party and both were gone before dessert. Everyone kept asking what it was. The pepper and dark fruit combo is just spot on, and it went brilliantly with the lamb we had. Best Syrah I've had at this price.
