The 2018 Syrah Collezione Privata is a wine of extreme purity and nuance. Medium in body and beautifully focused, the 2018 bristles with energy. Blackberry, lavender, spice and espresso all build in the glass. More than anything else, I am so struck by the wine's precision. The 2018 needs a number of years to be at its most expressive. The aromatics especially need to open. And yet all the elements are there. What a wine!

The Isole e Olena 2018 Syrah Collezione Privata (co-fermented with 2% Viognier) is especially Tuscan in character in this warm-vintage expression. The fruit is rich and dense with dried blackberry, plum and hints of rum cake or Christmas spice. Syrah also brings forth aromas of cured meat and sweet barbecue smoke, and you definitely get some of that here as well, especially on the tail end of the mouthfeel. The wine boasts plush softness in terms of its flavors, but there is enough structure here to pair with important meat dishes. Production is 5,600 bottles.

So beautiful, with sweet tobacco-leaf, tea, pepper, meat and dark-berry character. Medium-bodied with lots of finesse and polish. Refined tannins and pretty length. Really fine tannins. Drink or hold.
