Martúe Syrah · 2022

Martúe only produces a limited production of its Syrah single varietal in exceptional vintages, as was the case for this year. Revealing an intense nose and a structured and flavoursome palate, this interesting wine shows us once again the expertise of the young La Mancha winery. The wine is a deep, dark cherry colour, almost black and with purple hues on the rim. The nose is closed at the beginning and needs some air to open it up. When that happens, mineral notes appear (chalk and ink) and red fruits (raspberries). Weighty on the palate, rounded and earthy, it reveals toasty wood underpinned by fruit liqueur and liquorice. It is well-structured with powerful tannins, although a bit of time in bottle would add some polish. Aged for 14 months in French and American oak barrels.
