“This is a really fun expression of Syrah, and above everything else, you absolutely taste the varietal character of the grape. The 2019 Le Pupille spent an extra year in bottle before its release because the winery team didn't think it was ready yet. This vintage naturally carries extra concentration. That's a total of five years, more or less, meaning that the 2019 vintage is hitting market two years after the 2018. It shows a deliciously smooth and rich character with green pepperiness, Mediterranean herb and delicate caper flower. The floral intensity of the wine grows with time in the glass. The wine was first produced in 2015, and the winemaking process today sees six months in Tuscan clay pots ("orci") with submerged cap. I love the richness, the wine's unique personality and those spicy notes of game and barbecue that you get on the end. Great job. Only 3,758 bottles were made.”
