Takahata
Les Trois Ciseaux d’Ōura en Kamiwada Syrah 2018
This Syrah from Takahata comes from Kamiwada in Yamagata. The grapes are grown by the Ōura family; the wine then matures for 29 months in oak.
Ripe dark berries meet white pepper and subtle oak notes. A medium body is supported by fine, well-integrated tannins. Fruit and spice remain balanced through the persistent finish.

Ageing potential is a guide, not a guarantee of shelf life. Development depends on the vintage, individual bottle and cool, dark storage at a steady temperature. Please ask us for advice on drinking maturity.
