The 2012 Hidden Terrace Syrah shows exotic aromas of freshly crushed black pepper-corn, ripe plum, violet and smoked duck. These savory aromatics set the stage for a densely concentrated wine on the palate with notes of cherry, thyme and roast spices. Framed by notable, plush tannins, this vintage demonstrates great persistence on the finish. Patience to decant 1-2 hours or allow 30 minutes in the glass will be greatly rewarded.
