Foi o José Aurélio que me apresentou e ofereceu este Syrah fantástico, bastante encorpado, chamado pelos críticos de blockbuster. Um vinho com 14,8% de álcool, de cor roxa, quase preto. Traz um sabor de amora e um final muito longo. O vinho vem do famoso Bloco 6, uma parcela de vinhas plantadas há 109 anos antes da produção do vinho. Esta idade justifica a incrível concentração deste vinho. O produtor Kay Brothers iniciou suas atividades no século IXX, (época do platio do Bloco 6), perto da cidade de Adelaide, no Vale MacLaren, Austrália. Robert Parker ofereceu 93 pontos para o vinho, eu daria mais. O melhor Syrah que já bebi.
Veja abaixo a vinha de 109 anos (isso em 2001), hoje ela tem 117. E uma outra foto do produtor mostra o efeito do vinho sobre a taça.
