La Collina Syrah 2021 750ml - Bilancia
97/100 - James Suckling NZ Wine Report
The 2021 Bilancia La Collina Syrah is a bold and refined expression of New Zealand’s finest wine-making. Crafted by the talented Warren Gibson, this exceptional Syrah offers an astonishing nose filled with warm herbal and spice complexity, including notes of pepper, leather, liquorice, anise, and a touch of smoke. Its palate is nothing short of luxurious, with dark fruit flavors layered over graphite and dark chocolate, all supported by incredibly fine tannins and an impressively long finish.
This wine is an extraordinary example of New Zealand Syrah at its best. It’s silky, ethereal, and graceful, with a structure that suggests it will only improve with time. Aging gracefully for up to 10 years or more, it’s surprisingly approachable now, yet the potential for further development is immense. The 2021 vintage, a rare treasure, is a must-have for any serious collector, and its incredible depth and elegance make it a standout in the world of fine wines
TASTING NOTES
Blackberry, spice and charry oak notes provide charming flavours, and the tannic grip is a real feature.
