La Rosine Syrah 2019

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

"Opaque violet. Displays ripe blackberry and cherry aromas that are complemented by suggestions of black pepper, pungent flowers and olive paste. Round and fleshy in texture, offering juicy black and blue fruit, cola and spicecake flavors and building smokiness. A spicy note builds on the finely etched, gently tannic finish, which hangs on with strong persistence." - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 92/100 (Dec 2022)

"Ripe and juicy but restrained, with the core of blackberry and boysenberry confiture harnessed by bramble, anise and savory notes. Features a subtle iron hint that peeks through on the finish." - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Feb 2022)
