KASTRO TIRELI SYRAH – MOURVEDRE 2015

Bought for 40,90€ at Istanbul airport on December 28th 2023

Syrah 90% – Mourvèdre 10%

I love those grapes, that reminds me of the Languedoc Roussillon, the region where I used to spend the summer holidays at my grand parents’ home.

Grown on organic vineyards of Akhisar/Manisa.

Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.

Beautiful dark purple colour !

The nose gives up lots of classy black currants, garrigue, smoked meats, pepper, spice and bouquet garni characteristics.

The palate is powerful, with dense substance; the tannins are silky and the aromatic palette is extensive.

I love that fleshy, unctuous texture! Yummy!

Long lasting finish full of freshness!

A fantastic wine. 9/10
