"Rich, supple and concentrated, this is from a heritage clone of Syrah brought to New Zealand in the 1840s, located in the stoniest parts of Gimblett Gravels. Takes its time to unfurl and unfold in the glass, with a steely tannic grip and high rose petal and gunsmoke aromatics, followed up with cumin, peach pit, sage and fennel. Deft and savoury, with a slow release that softens into creamy red fruits, and give plenty of time to relax and enjoy the finessed perfume that fills the glass. Where you can approach the Te Muna earlier, I strongly suggest allowing Le Sol four or five years to evolve in the bottle. Director David T Peabody, chief winemaker Julian Grounds, unfined, light filtration, 45% new oak for ageing."
