Description

"The blockbuster Astralis Syrah is the most Hermitage-like.Its dark plum/purple color is followed by a big,sweet kiss of roasted meats,creme de cassis,blackberries,pepper,and forest floor.Dense with superb purity,full-bodied power,and beautiful balance,it is the only Astralis we tasted that exhibited a strong tertiary/secondary aromatic development".
(97 Points).

Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. #183. June 2009).


"Deep garnet-colored,the 1996 wows from the start with an incredibly profound nose of meat and fertile loam intermingling with black truffles,black cherry and black plum preserves,plus a whiff of Christmas cake.Ripe,rich,and seductive,the medium to full-bodied palate is generous and refreshing with crisp acid,medium levels of rounded tannins and a finish that lingers a very long time.It is mature for drinking now".
(98 Points).

Lisa Perroti-Brown. (The Wine Advocate. February 2014).


The most recent tasting note of the 1996 Astralis on CellarTracker:-

"Syrah vs. Shiraz - Shoot out of the best (Singapore).
Dark garnet with brick hue.Mature nose of tar,ripe,jammy prunes,smoke,meat,herbs,very complex.Excellent palate,soft tannins,lots of sexy,mature fruit.This really hit all the buttons and was one of the wines of the night.Because of the freshness and structure as well as the herbal aromatics we were not sure whether this was Rhone or Australian.In any case,a superb showing for Astralis which usually is a bit too sweet/heavy for my taste,but not this bottle.Mature".
(99 Points).
