Anthonij Rupert Syrah 2006
Rooibos and buchu whiffs on the nose with peppery spice, plum and blueberry in the mouth. There's savoury black olive succulence with refined, dry tannins and plush texture too. A powerful yet restrained wine with a long aftertaste.

Rupert 2005 $62 A dark, exotic style, with richly textured mocha, espresso, fig paste and macerated currant fruit backed by a very long, fleshy, toasty finish. Still needs to absorb some of its toast, so cellar for maximum effect. Best from 2009 through 2012. 220 cases made.-].M. Wine Spectator December, 2008 91 points Rich and full-bodied with dark chocolate and mocha on the palate followed by warm spices and ground pepper. This wine is dense with smooth tannins and a long finish. Intense cassis & lily bouquet, saturated fruit core, dense tannins & 15.5% alc. Despite Rubenesque dimensions, 2006 achieves balance; cellaring could bring subtlety.(Platter 2011)
